Okay, I haven't come across any Aardvark Q10 threads more recent than around 2008 - so I know this is a long shot, but maybe someone can help.

Hi Guys,
I thought this would be a good place to post a question on my soundcard.
I have a small recording studio which I started obviously like so many for my own recordings.

I was looking for some user feedback on these pieces of equipment and SP2. Since Aarvark went under (no more driver updates) I felt it might be best to stick with the OS configuration I had. It was working fine, no need to subject myself to the unknown.

Has anyone had problems with their Q10? When I install the card I get no output from the video monitor...that is I can't see anything!...when I uninstall the card the monitor works again. I'm I alone?
:(

I have a couple Aardvark Q10's that I am pretty happy with. For a different location I would like to set up another computer running Sonar with two inputs (just for overdubs.) What I would really like is a sound card with two XLR ins and mediocre built in pres in addition to two 1/4" inputs that I can plug a nicer Pre like my RNP into.

I'm new to this today and I'm also a newbee in digital recording. Please forgive my ignorance but I guess I have to start somewhere! Can I send from either the direct outs, sub sends or aux sends of my Mackie to the q10 1/4" inputs? Will I run into a problem with using the mic preamps on the mixer and putting the signal into the preamps of the Aardvark Q10? Thanks very much

Assuming they did go out of business--which seems probable--is it a bad idea to buy Aardvark products at this time?

Yodermr1 had posted that driver updates for the Q10 could be gotten from his site, so other than Aardvark's being remiss in terms of tech support?

Thanks.

Would there be any difference in the mic preamps on the aardvark q10 compared to the PreSonus firepod?

We just bought a 3rd Q10, and upon installation, suddenly began to have the following problem:

When the Aardvark Manager is opened, it works fine *until* we view the mixer for the 3rd card. Then, within minutes of having that screen visible, the program crashes, and also prevents us from reopening the program, or any other audio programs, until the PC is rebooted.

I have two Aardvark Q10's and like them a lot. Up until recently I had never tried to "offload" sounds from them onto other media (in this case digital audio tape on a DA-88) so the "background" noise that was coming out of the monitor and the other 8 outputs never really bothered me. It didn't get into the recordings either so that wasn't a problem.
