Summary: worst box ever!!!
Comment: I've owned the 410 for a few years now and I don't think it's ever worked 100%. Numerous live shows have almost been canceled due this temperamental little beast. I would not wish this thing on my worst enemy! I recommend the RME Fireface series, they're expensive but worth it, totally professional, never had a problem.

Summary: Time wasted, but now working
Comment: I'm changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars.
Now that my 410 is working, it's great, but it doesn't get better than 3 stars because of all the problems I had in getting it there.
This is what I said before it was fixed:
"I've tried getting this blasted thing to work for the past 9 months, hoping a new driver would magically fix the problem. All I get is a blue blinking light. I've read all the online advice. Nothing works, including my 410. Stay away from this product."
I went back and forth with the M-Audio tech support in order to get this thing to go. The bottom line is this: The 410 is a good product when it's set up correctly, but it is really particular about how it's set up.

Summary: Works great when it works. But...
Comment: I've owned one of these for several years. When it works, and for what it works for, it works well. However there are many problems:
1. M-Audio says the device must be first on the Firewire chain (a ridiculous requirement) and that you shouldn't hot-plug it (an absurd restriction).
2. If you do try hot-plugging it and you manage to not burn out your FW interface, as some here have reported has happened, you'll find you need to reboot your machine anyway. Windows will not recognize this device upon hot plugging, only when it reboots. I've had many other Firewire devices and this is the only one that behaves this way.
Any Firewire device that can't be hot plugged, to say nothing of one that shouldn't be hot plugged, is "broken as designed." M-Audio has no business selling any such gadget, and the FireWire consortium or whatever it is that controls that trademark should have forbidden M-Audio to use the "FireWire" name and logo on this product.
3. S/PDIF coax input basically doesn't work. Sometimes it locks to the incoming signal, sometimes not. If it does lock it usually doesn't stay locked for long. Yes, I've tried different settings of the sync source and rate. It doesn't help.
4. S/PDIF optical input isn't much better. Even through a mere six foot Toslink cable. This is, btw, with other S/PDIF devices that work fine with everything else.
5. As someone else noted, that assignable knob on the front panel sometimes -- often -- loses its assignment, and you have to go into the control panel software and re-assign it. Needless to say this is a PITA.
M-Audio should have recalled these devices and given (yes, GIVEN) all owners an updated version that fixes these problems.

Summary: $300 blinking light
Comment: The product worked decently for about 3 months. The mic inputs never sounded great. Suddenly, for no reason, it stopped initializing on startup. Now the extremely bright LED light just blinks. While this is good for party time in the computer room it is not good for recording songs. Buy something more reliable.
