Folks, just so you know as I only found out yesterday...

STAudio have moved websites so that www.staudio.com is no longer valid...

This website http://www.st-audio.de/ is up however and I believe they've just released V8.4 of the EWDM drivers for the DSP2000/DSP24VE range of cards (Just when we all thought they'd dropped support for it eh?)

You are a god Marc.....

I've been having a few problems lately with odd crashes and I've narrowed it down to the soundcards (ST DSP24V's). Don't know why, but since Easter break it's been a nightmare in the teaching studio...reinstalling the card drivers seems to sort it out. None of the machines are on the net, the SP2 upgrade was done months ago....nothing has changed in the machines but slowly, one by one, they're f*cking up...and it seems to be the card.
Went to www.staudio.com.....nothing to be had!! I asked K and he hadn't heard anything about it. I thought they'd gone tits up or something....

Cheers for da link dude!

sox

aha - found this


Many of us still remember the names of excellent consumer and professional audio devices from Hoontech. Pity, but this well-known company ceased to exist, and its remains were purchased by another well-known sound equipment manufacturer, Ego Systems (ESI).

According to the contract, Ego Systems receives all rights for the ST Audio trademark. ESI is to develop, produce and distribute the new pro audio solutions under the ST Audio brand and provide technical and drivers support for existing products at ST Audio website.

Here's the link Sox

http://www.st-audio.de/data/dsp24ewdm84.zip

Unfortunately K, that's old news now.. the new deal isn't quite so sweet to read...

(Taken from a forum post on that website..)

"...ESI had purchased distribution rights and name rights from Hoonthech that were voided when Hootech went under(and production went kaput). Since this going under happened some time ago it explains one reason why things have not happened with driver development as quickly as we users would have liked(and there were quality complaints). ESI still have some limited responsibilties for support but are unable because of the transfer of STAudio to be as up front as we would like: they no longer have the ability to even list STAudio as affiliated with them..."

agreed, it's not ideal,but i use the older drivers and they are rock. I dunno what the fuss is. If it works, then that's all you need. I'm using the e-mu 1820m now, but the old c-port system was so much easier and stable. I might go back to it. It's still in the rack disconnected.

that's probably a matter of numbers tho - the cheap hoonies were big selling cards - i think the problem is the SP2 compatibility innit?

Not really SP2, the problems were around waaaaay before that (for *some* people, that was the oddest thing and I don't think the developers ever found out what...

There was a show stopping blue screen of death issue that just wouldn't go away with the "old" V7 drivers.. and then SX2 came out and they didn't work with that...

..and then ESI stepped in and promised better driver support, the V8 drivers trickled through and admittedly were much better but many of the features (such as multi card support etc.) were ommitted... V8RC4 was a good driver for many (myself included) and then things went really quiet for a year and then some (RC4 was still a "beta") and now this happens...

Its a real shame coz I love mine, great power/features/quality/cost ratio.. and I've just managed to get my hands on another ADC/DAC2000 box taking my I/O tally to 16 (which is niiiice..)



Still, if it ain't broke...

V7 drivers worked fine with SX1 and not with SX2
STA released a rush job V7 driver update to work with SX2 (anyone still using V7 drivers is most likely using this one)
ESI took over and released the V8 drivers, culminating in RC5

hey guys -

anyone using Cubase SX3.0 with Win XP SP2.0 and the 8.2rc5 drivers??

i'm about to embark on putting my old Carillon machine back together and have to decide whether to use my old Hoontech DSP2000 C-Port or a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 i've been using in my botch-job machine recently. i have to say the Audiophile has been 100% rock solid. i'm only ever going to be recording in from a stereo line-in OR a mono mic - not at the same time - no extra inputs needed.

i'm tempted to use the audiophile.....

whatdyareckon????

cheers
woxy

well the c-port has the balnced XLR outs which are sposed to sound good (never wired mine up as it goes, happy with the un-balanced ones)

anyways, with XP there's no prob having other drivers on the system if the card's removed, my c-port is back in the video music system for this film:

www.redkabaya.com

but the creative e-mu ones are still on (it even asks me to register every 2 weeks with the card out!)... and others,... the c-port's running 100%
