[Zombietakeover]

Has anyone tried this ..they never posted an update and the product is discontinued ...I sent an email to Mackie asking this question but the never responded ......It seems everytime i invest in a company something goes wrong...

It is. You can use the Vista drivers.

It is. You can use the Vista drivers.

Cool, no noticeable problems at all?

I've been using it here with Win 7 for about a year now. It feels more stable on Win7 than it did with the appropriate drivers on XP SP2, which apparently was the most stable of the bunch for running a 400F.

And your using it with the Vista Drivers also?

Yeah, that was the advice given to me at the time. Good advice!

It's been stable for me. I've recently switched to an RME -> ADAT setup. The mackie is now hanging off the mac. One thing to note, the Vista/Win7 driver was more fickle about the firewire card in those OSes than in XP for me. I ended up getting a Belkin card with the TI chipset and it cleared up remaining crackle/pops.

Too date Mackie have refused to provide driver support for the Onyx 400 f soundcard, this is a ridiculous state of affairs, please sign the petition to challenge this at

This soundcard when new cost upwards from £800, an excellent soundcard, how many of us can afford to replace such equipment on a regular basis, more importantly how can our planet sustain a world that keeps making viable hardware obsolete.

Even if you dont own an Onyx 400f please support us that do

many thanks
