[OT] EMU 1212M Sound card

[jpff-2]

I have a student with this soundcard, and he has just installed Ubuntu
onto a Windows machine.  After a minor hassle he has ALSA built for
this card, but it wants him to d/load some firmware, and he is
concerned that the card may cease to work in Windows.
  Does anyone know about this, or have experience?

I've no idea but I understand his concerns. Perhaps they might know on
the  Linux Audio mailing list.

I was under the impression that windows had to upload firmware every time too.  I don't think it's like flashing your BIOS.  It's just part of initializing the device.  I have a USB Tascam interface that works in Linux and Windows.

While I have no experience with the specific soundcard, normally the
firmware is loaded on boot by the driver, which means you can't ruin the
windows experience by toying in linux.
