Well, if you happened to read my blog entry about building a DAW, you know that I have an E-MU sound card, the 1616m, in my audio machine.
Unfortunately, a driver updated in windows update (I think for my Bluetooth kb/mouse) kind of killed my E-MU drivers yesterday. So I went to the E-MU website for tech support only to find no phone number. I eventually got in touch with somebody else at Creative who told me that E-MU has, effectively, been shut down.
This is a real drag since the E-MU products are really nice. Until this other driver nixed my E-MU yesterday, I’d had no trouble with it at all…easy to install, easy to set up and configure, and it works. And sounds good, too.
If you go to their website, you can still download the latest drivers for things, and I was told that they’ll keep working on drivers for a while still, but the division is in fact going away, and no new products will be forthcoming.
You can find them at http://www.emu.com

Hi Lou:
Sorry about your tech problems. Been there.
Two questions:
- First, did you know that on your title bar for the blog there is no title for your blog? On my reader it says Untitled. You may want to enjoy some SEO goodness by keywording a title there.
I also couldn’t find your contact info on the blog, as I was going to call you with the title question.
Oh well I hope all is well
Best always,
- Peter
