M-Audio M-Track Solo

This is my first audio interface, and it works.
Although, it has some problems:
1.If you want to use direct monitoring, you have to deactivate all of the other sound devices. Which is a bit annoying.

2. When you insert a dynamic microphone and turn the gain on, the gain increases steadily. But when you reach gain-level 9 the sound suddenly goes from quiet to really loud. I am not sure if this would be the same with a condenser microphone.

Now, you get what you pay for. The housing is made out of plastic, so be careful not to drop this. The interface has the basic features you need to get started with your home studio.

Conclusion: It's okay.

I purchased this audio interface to use with a microphone.

Upon arrival, everything seemed fine. However, after installing the drivers from their website, the audio interface didn't function properly. There was no input or output, and only a loud, high-pitched sound coming from the output, input was quiet.

I'm running the audio interface on Windows 11 (23H2), which is supposedly supported according to their website. When I contacted support about this issue, they responded by saying they would escalate it to their technical team for further investigation. Unfortunately, it has been two months since then, and there has been no update to the drivers. The only change has been to the driver download website.

Without the drivers, the product does work. However, I'm not satisfied with how the audio peaks and becomes extremely loud when the gain is set to 10 (maximum) compared to 9.

I haven't tested the guitar input, as I don't have any guitars to try with.

I have an AMD chipset (Ryzen 5 5600X) and an AMD GPU (RX 6600). I've tried many online troubleshooting methods, but to no avail. I have to use the interface without drivers to this day.

In conclusion, if you have similar specifications, I'd recommend being careful before purchasing this product.

I got this interface a few months ago and have been using it since. I have no prior experience with interfaces, but I am a musician and can say that it sounds quite good. My only complaint is that I have had it make very weird clicking noises on some occasions, and I've had cases where the interface would start crackling whenever I am playing something (like a backing track) from USB on my computer and simultaneously playing something on my guitar through the interface, which is quite frustrating.

Other than that the build quality is not bad, the knobs feel really nice and the plastic doesn't feel cheap. The jack connectors and the switches are nice and sturdy.
