Review: Frustrating to Install, Here's How it Worked For Me - I returned the first one because it takes UAD at least 1 business day to reply. Plus, what's so frustrating is I'm following their instructions to the letter; and I researched the install procedures and guidelines BEFORE I purchased the Apollo (and the Volt). At first, the Apollo would not work via USB; I tried two Intel certified cables and returned it after speaking with tech support. Then, frustrated, I returned the first Apollo and purchased a UAD Volt; this time the UAD Software would not recognize the Volt no matter what cable I used. I returned that and purchased a Scarlett Solo that WORKED out the box. Determined to make this work, I purchased a UAD Apollo again! Wow! This is so frustrating! I purchased new USB-C Cables through Anker and Belkin that support high speed USB 3.0 and more. The Belkin cable is Thunderbolt 4 certified as well! The Apollo was not recognized by Windows 11. Yes, I did a clean install of Windows! I wanted to break the Apollo! I'm serious! Terrible experience! I then tried the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables; that worked as far as installing the software. After I rebooted the computer the UAD Console software launched. BUT WINDOWS would not recognize the Apollo. The Console software would not recognize the Apollo. I kept getting USB errors from UAD software. I then tried two other confirmed USB-C to USB-A cables. Still did not work! To recap, at this point, I used the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables to install the software; for some reason, that worked— it's as if there was a partial recognition of the Apollo. Then I had this crazy idea...."Why don't you try the Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable (Thunderbolt 4) again." I plugged the cable in a 5th time....and it WORKED! WOW!!!!!! What the hay man!? When this thing (Apollo) actually works.... it's beautiful. It was worth the frustration to get it to work. It's sad that a company that makes a product this good can't get it to install properly and their support takes ONE BUSINESS DAY to reply. Hope this helps someone.
Review: Completely transformed my desktop audio setup - I bought the Apollo Solo USB for my Windows PC setup, and honestly, this thing is incredible. I’m using it with Yamaha HS5 studio monitors, Sennheiser headphones, a Shure XLR dynamic mic, and Mogami TRS-to-XLR cables from the Apollo to the speakers. The difference was immediate. My speakers completely came to life, way cleaner, fuller, and more detailed than before. The headphone output also sounds fantastic and has plenty of power. Everything feels tighter and more controlled, especially compared to running audio straight from a PC or a basic DAC/amp setup. The build quality feels premium, the volume knob is smooth, and having one clean interface for my speakers, headphones, and XLR mic is exactly what I wanted. The onboard controls are simple once you understand them, and it makes the whole desk setup feel much more professional. Overall, this was a huge upgrade. If you’re using real studio monitors, good headphones, and an XLR mic, the Apollo Solo USB is absolutely worth it.

### ⭐ The Apple of Audio Interfaces... not
*by S***. on November 11, 2022*

First of all, If you're using a windows computer, getting this to work will be pretty annoying. The company itself stated that they basically don't care about windows users, so you'll still need a 3rd party audio software like voicemeeter to get it to work with video game comms or OBS for example. The main thing that made me write this review is that I had this Audio interface for just over a year when it randomly, out of nowhere, stopped working. all the lights turn on, it would still connect to my computer, the console software recognizes it and says that it was working as it should, but it wouldn't record anything or output any audio. It was simply a brick. I didn't really use it for recording but instead for everyday tasks like zoom meetings, discord calls, gaming, and listening to music because its headphone output was much much better than the Focusrite Scarlet I had. I contacted the support team and did everything, and I mean EVERYTHING they told me to and in the end, they said I needed to send it in for repair and quoted me........ $200.
