Well, I will say the M-Audio interfaces were a step up from the Aardvark one.
What I mean is, if you go into your windows sound devices, the pairs of inputs and outputs on an m-audio device will show up as devices you can set. So, I could set the 1/2 output as my default windows sound device, the 1/2 input as the default recording device, and in skype I could set it to use the 3/4 in and 3/4 out. And in teamtalk set that to use the 5/6 in and 5/6 out. Then I wire it all in to my mixing board, setup sub mixes with aux sends, and can run a show with co-hosts in teamtalk, and take calls with skype. Maybe the m-audio isn't something of pro level, but it's worked great for live streaming like this, and also lets me record in quad things with the asio drivers in sound forge. It's just that it hasn't gotten any driver updates since Windows 7, and now it causes bluescreens from time to time, so it's time to find a suitable replacement.
At the moment I'm looking at this -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...c45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=TFKVSYPFBVFMEAEEDXBH
Although it has a LOT of negative reviews. And I'm not sure if it will break out the multiple pairs into windows devices.
I was also looking at this -
https://www.amazon.com/Tascam-US-16.../B07PHVLWJ6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=8200GRT30FKD
I was looking at the tascam and the focusrite scarlet interfaces the last time I researched this. But I don't want to end up back in my current situation....owning hardware that does what I need it to do that hasn't broken down yet, but is becoming unusable due to a lack of support from the manufacturer. I am rather pissed at m-audio for forcing the obsolecense of my current hardware by not keeping up with drivers and pulling all support. And my concern is, what is to stop Tascam from ending all driver updates the day after I buy the product? Focusrite pointed to a very good track record of continuing to update drivers for older hardware. Tascam gave me no reassurances. But....the focusrite has proven to be completely useless for streaming and quad conversions with the lack of ability to adjust levels or breakout stereo pairs into windows devices, so that brings me back to looking at the Tascam. Or maybe a motu.
Meanwhile, the m-audio 44 seems to not be bluescreening things. I'm not sure why, the 1010lt and 44 use the same driver, but, the 44 seems to be more stable, I haven't gotten a bluescreen yet, so that has bought me some time to figure out what to purchase.
