Choke up $100-$275 for a new audio interface.Even if I dropped everything and went in full force apart from my day job and amature Ironman training, it would likely take me *years* to get to the point Eugene has. My experience with GNU\Linux kernel drivers is highly limited and I have zero experience writing MS Windows drivers.

While I am a computer programmer, but don't get to do as much coding these days as I would like to in my day job and I'm more of a WebDeveloper at that. The funny thing is that Mac OSX is from my understanding GNU\Linux under the hood. Then I think the GNU\Linux community and influential people like Alan Cox and Eugene seized the opportunity. I'm not sure if Creative Labs actually helping much with the creation of the ALSA drivers but they released the emu10kx specs to developers years ago with some very primitive working drivers. I haven't bothered trying to re-solder it.Įverything needed to make the 1212M work in *modern* versions of Windows 10 is available in the Opensource emu10k1 ALSA drivers that were apparently spearheaded by Creative Labs. My plan was eventually to hook up a Behringer 8000 that I got off eBay, but it apparently got damaged in shipping and the ADAT output appears to be loose. My 1212 is just a regular PCI card, I unfortunately do *not* have the audio-dock. I believe the M in the 1212 just stands for Mastering grade inputs/outputs. I think this shows the 1212 being supported by Eugene's Opensource kxDrivers: The EMU1212M also works fine in Windows 10 Version 1809 using the stock EMU Drivers. I don't know if I have the old or the new version. I think there may be two manufactured versions of the 1212M. The "emu10k1" ALSA drivers work for the 1212M in most versions of GNU\Linux: I believe the 1212M is using an EMU10KX chip but I don't know if it's 10k1 or 10k2.
