Win10 and Soundcard Emagic EMI 2|6

Hi!

 

Anyone managed to use all six channels of the Emagic EMI 2|6 under Win10? The last official driver from Emagic for that soundcard is for WinXP. And under Win10, I can only get "unofficial, generic" drivers from Microsoft. But when using these, I can only access the first two channels in Audition/VLC/whatever?! And there seems to be no ASIO-support?!

 

Thanks and kind regards,

Jörg

Something happened.

I have two operating systems on my computer.
1-win10 64bit
2-linux mint

My Roland sampler is connected to my Emagic EMI 2/6 sound card and win10 doesn't recognize it because it uses a 32-bit driver.
I booted the system with linux "mint" recognized my sound card and installed the driver, I restarted the system with win10.
The LEDs of my sound card are on and I got a message saying "your device is loaded and ready to use".

But unless you can run an ASIO driver with the card, you won't get multichannel use with Audition in Windows - and that goes for any version, 32 or 64 bit. I'm afraid it's that simple. It would appear that a lot of people have difficulty with this, one way or another - the device seems to have been better supported for Macs, but I'm not sure whether even they can use it now.
