Interesting. I did have a slight issue myself when the Win 7 drivers first came along. I'll explain how I fixed it.

What else have you got running on that IRQ? My PC was running both graphics cards and various other peripherals too. The graphics cards were running in SLI and it was this that was seemingly chocking up the bandwidth needed by the UX1.

When I disabled SLI all the problems went away. And of course it matter of moments to re-enable SLI when I want to run a game.

If you've not got an SLI rig, you could try a similar fix. Go into the device manager and disable your graphics card. It will still run, but only in basic form (which is fine for running your DAW and other music software), that also fixes the issue.

Hope either of these help for your system.

Actually I have a Win7 x64 computer (a Samsung R780) that does NOT work with the Pod Studio UX1. All the problems are still there: noise spikes, quits working, etc.

I read this post via the twitter feed. It was interesting to see both sides of the what will be an ongoing story.

You comment is rather out of date John. Windows 7 drivers have been released and I've had absolutely no problems running Monkey, PODFarm or PODFarm 2.0 on my Win 7 x64 machine since their release.

Line 6 was very slow in getting Windows 7 drivers and support out, but these programs work fine now.

And PODFarm 2.0 is rather splendid.

Totally, their line 6 monkey don't work on windows 7, you can't update and it won't detect your line 6 devices. Worse thing is, their community don't even care to help you. What a downer from a brand i trusted for years

Yes it does suck! I have Windows 7 64 bit and am still waiting for line 6 to get software that works right. I have a Pod Live xt that I now have to edit with an old laptop running windows XP Pro.I have found that NI Guitar rig 4 works like a dream!! with window 7 for recording with Sonar 8.5. I will keep waiting but ye Line 6 will NOT gat anymore of my money.

It's not just the UX1, and not just the white noise spikes. My PodXT works just fine as far as sound goes- it just randomly bluescreens the computer every few hours.

Tuxguitar + the POD is about the greatest practice toolset ever, but it's driving me up the freaking wall.
