➤ IMPORTANT NOTE: Fast Track Ultra has been designed as a USB 2.0 device.
It may be used with a USB 1.1 port, but will only function as a 2-in/2-out device with
sample rates limited to 44.1 and 48kHz. This is due to the limitations of the USB 1.1 bus
bandwidth.
A Note About System Upgrades: Please check the M-Audio driver download page at http://www.m-audio.com/drivers
for the availability of an updated driver before you decide to install operating system updates.
Before new M-Audio device drivers are released, they are tested for use with the operating system versions that are
available at that time. When updates for an operating system are released by Microsoft or Apple, all M-Audio device
drivers have to be re-tested and possibly updated to ensure proper operation.
M-Audio recommends refraining from installing operating system updates until a driver has been posted to the M-Audio
website for that specific operating system.
