When it works it works but it doesn't always March 13, 2007

It worked for me first time on XP SP2 but when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in, XP reverted back to the generic Microsoft MIDI driver. So I followed Kevin R. Araki's instructions and it's working again.
Just follow Kevin R. Araki's instructions and it'll work. Kevin is one of the reviewers on this page. Nice work Kevin!

I finally got my Uno to work with my Yamaha keyboard. Yes that's right, I have a Yamaha keyboard (YPT-200). Here's how I did it:
I installed the drivers before I plugged in the USB device. Strangely, the Uno was not using M-Audio drivers even though the hardware wizard looked like it figured everything out correctly. I checked Device Manager to see if the drivers were installed correctly (they were not). To get into Device Manager:
1. I right-clicked on My Computer, then clicked on Properties
2. Clicked on the Hardware tab
3. Clicked on the Device Manager button
4. Clicked on the plus (+) sign next to Sound, video and game controllers.
5. Double-clicked on "USB Audio Device" (if you have M-Audio USB Uno Driver in the list, don't go any further. Your drivers are fine though you may want to update them. As of 3/3/07 it is version 4.2.0)
6. Clicked on the Driver tab, then clicked on the Update Driver button.
7. Clicked on the "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" radio button, then clicked Next
8. Clicked on "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install." radio button, then Next
9. The M-Audio USB Uno MIDI Driver should be in the compatible hardware list. You will have to select it, otherwise it will use Microsoft's generic drivers. Click Next.
10. You will get a scary message about "The software you are installing ... has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP... yada, yada... Just click "Continue Anyway."
11. If all goes right your "USB Audio Device" will change to "M-Audio USB Uno Driver" or "Audio USB Uno MIDI Driver" or both.
Yes, I got it to work, but for M-Audio to have me go through these steps is unconscionable. The drivers should install without fuss. This is not a true "Plug and Play" device... not even a "Plug and Pray" device. It's just stupid. Giving 2 stars is generous. For those who gave 4 or 5 stars... maybe you have a Mac... or maybe you just live right, but this is not a great product. Even though it now works, there are some latency problems (press a piano key... hear the sound a couple of miliseconds later), and it sounds a bit muddy. I can live with that (muddy sound & latency issues), but a bad install experience does not make me want to purchase an M-Audio product in the future.
Cheers!

After I got the Uno Midi to work and played around on the piano keyboard, I turned it off and when I returned to the application that I use the Midi in again, it was back to the Microsoft Midi drivers... dang! Okay, I can drudge though setting up drivers once, but everytime I turn off the keyboard or unplug the USB? Too much work. So I purchase the Creative Labs E-MU EM8780 Professional USB Bus powered Midi Interface [...], and it worked straight out of the box. Perhaps needless to say I have not used the Midisport Uno again.
Good luck with your usage.
 don't buy this if you have Yamaha keyboard February 18, 2007

This item will not work if you have a Yamaha keyboard. The people at the company were very nice to deal with but their product just won't work with a Yamaha keyboard. There was a constant low humming noise that showed up at a low note on the music notation software I use
 Works if you're careful to follow directions. February 13, 2007

I had little problem getting this to work under Windows XP SP2. The unit I received warns you *not* to plug it in until after the drivers are installed. I was able to get it working with Finale Songwriter after swapping the 5-pin MIDI connectors to match the MIDI In and Out on the electronic piano. If using extension cables, have some female-to-female adapters handy...

Amazon should let us give 0 stars too :D
I paid $43 for it brand new from a place that will accept returns. I'm returning it.
It is the only USB device I have ever had that keeps falling asleep (the usb green led keeps going out, and I have no midi signal). I'm using it in Windows 2000. Like I said... it is the only usb device I have ever had that will not stay alive like it should. When it falls asleep, I have to do the Windows "unplug or eject hardware" thing then unplug the Uno's usb cable and replug it. That wakes it up, but I never know if it will stay awake for 30 seconds or 2 hours.
One thing to know about spending money on an item designed this way: if you accidentally damage any of these cables attached to this blue circuit box, you lose the whole device. These cables cannot be unplugged, repaired or replaced. Get a box where every cable can be unplugged instead.
