Here's the kicker.>The M-Audio Firewire 410 WORKS<<<. Further more, from what I found the Legacy 1394 driver was not needed and the card operated fine with the newer TI 1394 default driver. Nor does it appear to be an issue with using either the SYBA or SIIG firewire PCI_E cards. This problem DOES NOT appear to be an issue with using 1394 with Windows 10, not even with the most recent version of 10. I had the same issues with the ProFire 2626 playing for about 30 seconds followed by it locking up. I had high hopes that it was only a 1394 issue and the SIIG would solve this. In desperation, I even tried Another Firewire Card that was even more expensive and currently sold at Sweetwater, the SIIG NN-E38012-S3 V3. All other sound devices were disabled for testing. I worked on this system for an entire week trying various things and various drivers (including the downloaded Windows Legacy driver for 1394 and even third party drivers I found). Could not get the 2626 to work reliably no matter what I did. I installed a SYBA pci-e firewire card into the system (this received great reviews about it working in 10) and the newest driver 6.1.1. Although I really wanted to stay with Windows 7, unfortunately Windows 7 is no longer supported by the chipsets on modern motherboards so I basically had to upgrade to Windows 10 kicking and screaming.Īs far as the 2626, it's a dead dog on a modern Windows 10 system. I recently upgraded my system to an MSI Pro Carbon B450 AC and Ryzen 2700X eight core.

I thought I would chime-in on the subject recently and my discoveries for anyone out there currently pulling their hair out trying to get this to work.

Know this is an old post but some of us still have working Profire 2626's and have felt the need to upgrade our systems to some of the newest ones.
