It appears we have PatchMix set up differently, but I can bring audio in through the E-MU (via "DOCK In 1L/1R"), send it out via a SEND on the channel to an ASIO input ("ASIO IN 5/6 - HOST"), and bring that into SoundForge 13 (which is the latest version I have).
SoundForge is set for the E-MU ASIO, with the Record channel 1 and to set to ASIO In 5 and 6, which matches PatchMix's outputs. SoundForge is set to record 24-bit/48 kHz files.
With SoundForge in "monitor" mode, the audio passes through and back out to the E-MU, where it comes in via "WAVE 1/2", which is then sent to my mixer and then out to my speakers.
I set all this up based upon my mixer and what I needed for flexibility, but it was based upon one of the PatchMix templates initially.
Microsoft recently admitted to some problems created by a Windows update last month. The update appeared to create problems with external USB audio devices. I know that's not what you're experiencing here (assuming your E-MU is PCIe), but I thought I'd mention this in case you also have problems with the Focusrite.
Finally, if you're running at least PatchMix v2.20.00, you should be fine.
All that said, I'm not sure what you meant in your post by "E-MU has a problem, if the computer has more than 4GB of RAM, it cannot transfer to wav". (I thought I knew what you were referring to, but after reading your post again, I'm not sure.) PatchMix just passes audio to your recording software; it doesn't save files. I have heard of some corruption in 4 GB audio files on Win10 with E-MU hardware/software, but I haven't been able to find anything else about it. But if you set PatchMix up to send audio to SoundForge, you should be able to save any file at any size (assuming your hard drive is formatted as NTFS, which I'm sure yours is).
All of this is on a Windows 7 system, currently. I can see if I can reproduce your settings, but I haven't had any issues with this setup. I know Win10 introduced some issues, and WIn11 certainly hasn't helped, but people are still using E-MU PCIe cards on Win10 and Win11, so it should work for you. It may just be an issue of setting PatchMix up slightly differently.
