echo mia driver 6.08

[damoy]

Not sure if others are experiencing the same problem, but my giga midi ports were all greyed out when using v6.08 drivers. I downgraded to 6.04 and all is fine. Just thought I\'d throw this out there in case anyone starts pulling hairs like I was. images/icons/wink.gif

It seems like 6.04 are still the most reliable drivers.
Do you have the Mia or the Midi Mia?

WHat\'s up with Echo? Has their quality downgraded?

I think it is a bug that got into the later driver. Quite the opposite, Echo is yet again the first on the bandwagon with Giga 3.0 with GSIF-2 drivers that allow realtime incoming audio to be processed by the Giga DSP.

I have the classic mia card (not midi). And I agree, definitely a bug in 6.08.

I think they still have a little remove utility of some sort. Try and get that. You run it and removes all the drivers. Then you can put a new one in. You can also go to windows system or system 32 for XP and try to find the echo dll files and delete them.

If you have the Midi Mia the 6.04 drivers probably will not work since they were made for the MIA.
Why don\'t they just bring the MIA back? It works nice with other cards.

Ok, so what we are saying here is that Mia MIDI doesn\'t work with Giga.....
Is there any driver that works with Mia MIDI and Giga? I know that 6.06 doesn\'t because I\'ve tried that.
How about Layla 24? Actually, the Mia MIDI card I\'m using now is just temp. I\'m waiting to get my Layla.

[Worra]

Aha!
I used the newest driver and Gst didn\'t work....
Ok, I\'m new with Mia. I\'ve installed the newest drivers, but I need to install the older one (6.04)
When I try to do that, (run the installer) the PC doesn\'t recognize the card anymore.
Is there a right and a wrong way of doing this, that is, downgrading a driver?

Worra,

I have a Layla24 with Gigastudio ver 2.54.00 (this is the latest available version)
and Echo\'s drivers 6.08.
No problems at all.
I remember I had this problem with version 2.50.48
of Gigastudio.

I have the impression that the drivers are the same for all Echo products. At least for the ones that support 24/96.
Make sure that you have the latest version of Gigastudio.

Best,
Takis

I bought a new Dell computer about six months ago for use with music exclusively. I have NEVER been able to get it to work with Gigastudio 160.

The fatal combination with me is:

Dell/XP/Echoaudio Darla 20 OR MIA/any Echoaudio driver/Cakewalk Audio Pro 9.0 OR SONAR

I finally just left GS on my old computer. My solutions appear to be to use the computers together (don\'t really want that much fan/drive noise since I am a live recordist) or to spring for yet another audio card M-audio 66 for example. Unless somebody can give me the golden suggestion as to how to fix it..

Had same problem with 6.08 until I killed Hyperthreading. No problems now ...even at high sampling rates at 32 bit

On the very first page, you will see Hyperthreading Enabled. usually the + and - will toggle between disabled or enabled. After this setting hit the F10 key, and it will then ask you if you want to save the changes. Select Yes, and your system will reboot.

This of course is assuming if your processor/motherboard config support Hyperthreading.

Yep, disabling multithreading did the trick!
I\'m now using my Layla 24 (I had the Mia just until I got the Layla) with Gst and it sounds just great!
Thanx for your help!
