Not sure about win7. I gave up and went MacOsX. And it works like a charm. No hitches. Install software/drivers and you have a choice of FireWire/thunderbolt. I like it a lot

yes, it comes with the power cable, if you have an old one. it will work also. i do not own it any more, didnt likewindows 8.

No it doesn't come with audio cables. If you're interested, I'm selling mine, as I had to move up to a bigger unit for more computers. It's as good as new, just let me know if you're interested.

yes it works with windows 7. it doesn't sound very good though ... i'd go with the Asus Xonar DG instead.

I am assuming you bought used because the one I bought With drivers disk and the Cubasele disk and loaded on windows 7 without a hitch. Load the drivers first then install the software from Steinberg and choose your audio hardware from the preferences.

No mic cables included, so you'd need to buy those separately or use what you have. Does come with a power supply, of course. :)

??? It should works well with my laptop Which has Windows 7, however you need two USB ports for power.

I just set mine up and it works fine. I use the USB connection and you need to click the input monitor in the lower toolbar so you can hear it. If that button is not lit up you won't hear it. You don't have to record it. My computer has speakers attached. I have Windows XP.

As the others have said it does come with all the necessary cords. If you have windows you can record on windows sound recorder by plugging the quick tap into your microphone jack if you have a sound card. Go to start-all programs-accessories-entertainment-sound recorder. Great quality sound and simple to use. The shell is metal and very sturdy

Sorry to say that it does not come with a cable you can plug directly into your computer. But you can get a XLR(female) to 3.5 mm cable. Bad sound quality though! I would suggest buying a nice USB microphone, or USB audio interface you can can plug any mic in,whether it be condenser,dynamic, or ribbon. Which is most audio interfaces? Connect audio interface to computers' USB slot and then connect XM8500 to the audio interface mic input. Hope this helped!

The only cables that come with it is the AC power adapter, the usb to connect to your computer and the cord that runs from the 4 Trak's FX bar to the main controller (although it's permanently attached to both the FX bar and main controller). There are no RCAs or other audio cables included so you'll have to either get an RCA or XLR cables depending on your setup.

I'm also using mine to connect a new & an OLD machine (Win 8.1 & XP) & they work fine. No reason I can think of that it wouldn't work with Win 7. So what doesn't work? Do you get a display on the monitor but no response to the keyboard or mouse, or ???

I assume you are using the USB connector. I haven't tried it on Windows 8 but I guess you need an up-to-date driver, if you can find. I had difficulty to make the USB work well on Windows 7 therefore I used the xlr connector and a pre-amp, instead of spending hours to look for and test the USB driver.

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)

Yes it does need a power outlet to plug into. The laptop im using does have windows 7 on it. Hope this helps. the sound is real nice
