Audient id22 headaches

[Zukan]

I have been using the Audient id22 for a few years now. It has some real strengths: good headphone amp, good pres, easy routing matrix, good build, dim and cut, and so on. However, I have found that the drivers cause havoc with my DAW setups. I had problems with my old pc and now the same issues with my new Jedi pc. I have narrowed the issue down to the Audient'ss driver. No amount of updating has helped.

I have an old RMY Babyface here but it is first gen and the drivers don't play game with Win 10, otherwise, I would use that.

With this in mind, can anyone suggest an audio interface that is a like for like for the Audient id22 and costs about the same?

If you're only using the onboard ins and outs the SSL2+ is very nice and seems rock solid. Unfortunately doesn't have the extended connectivity or "hover over and control your chosen parameter" feature but I have a mouswheel for that.

Better basic, brilliant and working than being the best kit in the "fix me" box.

Granny suck eggs time..
you've tried the latest driver, but have you checked the unit's firmware version?
Apologies if you've already done this!

I did look at that. Phono outs didn't entice me and it doesn't have the connectivity that the Audient offers.

Sorry to go off topic, but I also have 1st gen Babyface (but I'm on Win7). Why is it not working on Win10?.
Not to question you, just curious, as RME have a reputation for solid drivers and I also work with an UFX and Win 10 with no issues...

Got that and def if connections are not sufficient then it's a non starter but, to be honest, I hadn't realised it had phono outs until I looked just now, I have it on TRS outs.

On my previous PC it showed the drivers as installed but couldn't locate the soundcard.

I need more connections Shuffle as I use a secondary set of monitors. I also need more on the input side of things...

What is the problem? Does it crash? Or you cannot got too low in buffer etc?

As of the RME, that the PC doesn't show the drivers is probably fixable quite easily.. there's really no reason for which an RME Babyface 1st gen wouldn't work with W10 (unless it's broken of course).. can't until Monday but a zoom call for checking things out is always possible

I can see the RME drivers but not the panel. In other words I cannot see it anywhere to access it.

I had that happen on one laptop. I think a re-install sorted it. Either that or I located the Totalmix launch icon i a faraway folder somewhere and created a shortcut.
