Re: [IRCA] Multiple Sound Cards for Recording

[Brandon Jordan <swl.tn.usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am using three Xonar U7's through the same hub with Windows 7 and not
having an issue. Each external USB sound card is given a different number
in Win 7 (2-Xonar U7, 4-Xonar U7 and 6-Xonar U7 in my case). On my old Win
XP machines I had issues using the same model sound cards, but this seems
to be resolved for me in Win 7.
