Don't know much about VirtualBox, but have you tried to run it with
Wine? I'm using a utility for my Yamaha QY70 inside Wine and with an
Audiophile 2496 and it works very well (that software is an old Win 3.1
application, though).
Thanks for that suggestion. I've tried it in the past with wine with no
success ... but before I replied to you suggestion with a "been there,
done that" I figured I'd try it again. Amazing, it now works! Well, not
100% ... but, honestly, it works better in wine than it did running on a
laptop with real XP. Figure!
What really gets me is how consistently manufactures can write such
crappy software and keep it proprietary when doing an open spec would
get lots of other folks involved to help them. Ahh, an old rant.
