Looking for help with Drivers and Audio controllers for Vista x64

I just bought a HP Pavillion with Windows Vista x64.

I am using Music Maker 14 and was planning on getting a Behringer FCA202 Audio Controller and a Behringer UB1204FX-Pro. Behringer has informed me that the FCA202 will not work with Vista x64. I will work with Vista x32 or earlier versions of Windows.

Does anyone know of an audio controller similar to the Behringer FCA202 that works with Windows Vista x64?

Hi again,
Bummer about the FCA... it only has Vista 32 drivers.

Well here are two more interfaces that I think are outstanding. Both have drivers available on their sites for all versions of Vista.

First is the PreSonus Inspire 1394 - PreSonus makes the best firewire interfaces and this one is no exception. Runs about $200.00

Next is the Focusrite Saffire LE - It has 6 inputs and 8 out - works great and is rock solid. If you didn't need more than 6 inputs this would eliminate your need for a mixer board. They run about $250.00 I especially like the monitoring options of this interface.

I, too, have an HP Pavilion... I'm saving up for a Roland FA 101, which is a firewire interface. 64 bit drivers available. I use Mus Studio 12.

I've been trying to use a Line 6 POD X3 Live as a USB interface, but after 20-30 minutes, the audio drops out and a reboot is required. Thats a major issue on the boards there at line 6, of which no hope seems to be insight... but, I guess thats off topic.

:EDITED 27 Dec 2008:: I finally received the FA 101 and just wanted to add, that its working great!
