Thumbs down Nov 03, 2008
The Alesis io|2 failed to work properly under Windows XP w/ Cakewalk Home Studio 6. The result was two-fold:

1: playback was an octave higher than recording -- which can be fixed if you remember to (manually) set the sample rates accordingly. This problem occurred in Sonar Home Studio 6, Cubase LE 1, and Window's "sound recorder" app.

2: in Cakewalk, regardless of varied ASIO buffer settings, recording was garbled and filled with static.

I was able to duplicate the problem in two different XP environments: one under an HP dv8000 with Media Center Home Edition, and another with IBM thinkpad t60p w/ XP professional (both with ample RAM and CPU).

After 6 months of troubleshooting and support calls to Cakewalk and Alesis, I bought the Edirol UA-25EX audio interface, and it worked perfectly upon the first attempt. No need to adjust sample rates or ASIO buffers.
