ESI - STAudio DSP24 BETA drivers now available from www.staudio.com
Excerpt from STAudio Q&A Forum post by admin Claus R:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...We have tested and compared the performance of the driver with the old DSP24 driver and with drivers of other Envy24 based cards from other manufacturers. Our test results show that when using ASIO, the latency and CPU load (= general performance) is on the highest possible level, unreached by other vendors to this extend. During that test we also noticed that one of the other vendors using the Envy24 chip is displaying wrong information about the latency in ms (e.g. 1.5ms when it is in reality 5ms) under Cubase SX 2.x and Nuendo 2.x in their latest driver. We ensure you that the new ESI E-WDM driver for the DSP24 card shows the correct latency and provides great performance with buffer sizes down to 64 or even 48 on fast systems.
Known issues:
- the driver does not support multiple DSP24 cards in one system at the moment (will be added later)
- the driver does not support the Int. Audio section (AC-97 codec) of the DSP24 card
- other ESI drivers must be removed totally before installing this driver (e.g. if you tested the Audioterminal 010 driver or if you received an earlier ESI pre-beta version)..."

For those that don't know.... The STAudio/ESI EWDM drivers for the DSP24 range of products is now upto RC4!
The public beta program is still in progress but for most people the drivers are getting better with every release!!!
Apparently, ESI/STAudio are now gonna concentrate on getting the Mac version for Core Audio working properly now before finalising the driver to a final release version but I hear that the only thing missing from the RC4 driver featureset currently is multicard support (apparently GSIF support and fixed Direct Monitoring configuration is back in!!)
