Audio Kontrol 1 on Win7?

I'm getting a new pc this week, and I would like to run Windows 7 on it.

Tried it out on my laptop with the Win7-RC1 64-bit a few weeks ago and couldn't get my AK1 to work with the Vista 64-bit drivers.

I have heard that it might work if running Win7 32-bit and the 32-bit drivers, but would like to get it confirmed before i install the new OS and decide on 32 or 64 bit. I only have 4gb of ram for now, so it wouldn't make too much of an issue..

Anyone tried it? Heard good or bad rumors? Any tips would be great. I need my soundcard working.

 

hi there. I can confirm that the AK1 works perfectly on my Win7 RC1 64-bit OS. Its been smooth and everything works fine. Vista drivers are compatible with Win 7 So i'm not sure what your difficulties are. Go for 64-bit. It should work and you'd be able to use the full 4gb of ram.

 

Good to hear.. not sure why it didn't work the last time them, but I'll try again on my new pc. Thanks!

 

I didn't get it to work..

First I installed the driver downloaded from here (AudioKontrol1Driver_2010_Win), then plugged in the AK1. It first said installing driver, but soon changes to Failed. Device driver software was not sucessfully installed..

Am I missing a step, or what am I doing wrong?

I'm running the official RC from Microsoft.

Seems like it did install ok after all.. I restarted and plugged back in, and here I am playing, so I guess I'm ok.

 

I have tried my AK1 on two windows 7 machines and a vista machine (all 64bit), the AK1 drivers are broken in that I get BSODs (not often at all), and funny crackling and popping (often.)

I'm selling mine as I've had enough. Support couldn't help - they recommended I turn off ACPI etc.. things that are fairly essential to normal computer operation. They also suggested it was because the IRQ was shared. I very much doubt their AK1 runs on a non-shared IRQ.

All in all, terrible stuff. Months of frustration. Bad NI.
