"Driver won't install on Leopard OS X 10.5 upgrade"

Overall:
I got a “install failed” error with the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra driver on an iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5. The web-based online support was no help, so I called telephone support. I was told that “this is a known issue and our team is working on it.” I was told that they THINK it might be because I upgraded to 10.5 from 10.4 rather than doing a clean install of 10.5 and that “engineering thinks this is the issue.” He suggested I “back up all data and do a clean install of leopard.” Of course, it’s not as simple as just backing up all data. To do a clean install of OS X 10.5 would wipe the disk so I would have to then re-install all my software packages as well as restore all my data. This would take days! I bought the item because of its sound quality and features. But, if you can't install the driver, all the features in the world are worthless, so I rate this product's features, quality and so on as a "1" on a scale of 10. I’ll be returning the item for a full refund.

"Nice but still glitching"

Quality:
Decent quality for what it is.

Sound:
Not bad sound. Decent quality. M-audio is a fine company with some good products.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use, when it works.

Support:
Good/Fair. Still working existing problems out so I can't really say.

Overall:
It hangs/glitches all the time. Externally powered, computer running dual 2g CPU, 2g RAM, running idle and the Ultra will just freeze. The control panel freezes, and the device disappears as if it was unplugged from the USB. Unless this new driver works 3/17. It happens so much that I think we are going to have to get something else. We will be using it live on air 24x7 and it cannot glitch or it's useless. I have other $150 Alesis units that do not do this. I also have other m-audio products that I am very happy with but this thing does not work in it's present state. Google it and you will find other folks having the same problems.
