If it happened to you that you see a power led always blinking or blink only once (my case under Mac) - try holding "direct monitor" button while powering-on the device. It helped me. Under Windows people report that nasty software will still try to update firmware automatically every time but somehow they manage to prevent it from doing that.
Since I got this device I used it only with Mac, and everything was fine, well, almost fine. Then I gave the card to a friend of mine for him to try it. He never got the card working. I suspect that in Windows it had automatically upgraded firmware to a broken one.
Good hardware. Bad software.
Solution that worked for me is partly described here.
Here is the summary:
1. Download and unpack drivers archive with firmware version 5.02. EMUU_PCAppDrv_L6_1_10_13.exe should work (google it because it's no more available from the emu website).
2. Turn the device on. Clicks in speakers, "Power" blinks. Card seems somewhat dead.
3. Turn device off by "volume" knob. Turn it on again, by knob. When "power" starts to blink, press "Direct monitor" button. If after 1-2 seconds after 0202 appears in system, can play sounds etc, then goto 4. Else try off-on again, hold "direct monitor" for second, etc.
4. Run Updater.exe from \Audio\UFU folder. And proceed with an update. (Screenshot)
5. When it's done the card will automatically reboot.
