lol...

buyer's remorse... personified before our very eyes.


:D



There's nothing wrong with the MIA. I woulda got the Delta 44 instead because it has a breakout box as opposed to having to plug in to the soundcard directly... but other than that... it's a decent card for the money.





P.S... just for future reference... it's better to ask questions like this before purchasing the item.... :p

I wouldn't call it a mistake. A very good entry-level soundcard with good sound and good drivers. Echo generally seems to be a little more picky about the motherboard it's put on compared to, say, Maudio or Aardvark, but no more picky than other pro-level cards. Unless it simply does not work on your system, I can't imagine a Mia being called a bad buy...
 
Breathe easy RBrez, it's a fine audio card. It has an admirable S/N ratio that is probably the best in its price-range (I'm paraphrasing Martin Walker of Sound On Sound who bought the one he tested). There was an issue with the early release drivers, but that's been sorted now.

Other than its lack of MIDI connector it's a serious contender in the pro-recording league.

I've been using one for a year now.... great card.

(Although I hope you checked their website to make sure your motherboard is compatible!)
 
I sure didn't, I have a new gateway 500s P4 and all that, I hope it is....

I'd open that PC case and just write down every model number of every part that you can find. The hardware details will make sense of any issues that will present.

It's not really hard to know what hardware you're sporting.
 
Gateways use Intel chipsets, so according to Echo's site, it should be fine.
