I am still running the ASIO4All driver until I figure out the MOTU ASIO within Ableton Live (8.1.1) as there are different ins/outs on it and 11/12 didn't give me any audio output. All went fine at that point so I immediately tried the CueMix Console and VIOLA! It worked! I was VERY happy to finally be able to use a newer driver. So I uninstalled it, got rid of the mfw*.drv file in System32 and snagged that AVT FW driver, installed, rebooted, installed latest MOTU driver, rebooted, plugged in, turned on MOTU 828Mk II and finished the driver installation. I kept hitting the device is on a bus of different speed (something along those lines) message. I figured newest driver may resolve the issue - NOPE. I was running an older version and it worked. I have been fighting (with little input here) for my MOTU 828Mk II I got from my buddy (he wanted to get the Ultralite I think) and not being able to get CueMix to load on any driver from 3.6.x.1394 and beyond. Thanks for this thread by the way, it is very intresting. I do have alot disabled in device manager and no internet connection on, and disabled firewalls and antivirus. Only complaint is that somtimes the motu 8pre and laptop loose connection but is rare.ġ) Should I give these 3rd party drivers a go and see if I gain more stability/improvement in the overall operation?Ģ) Seeing as how the controller on my laptop is not TI, would it benifit me to try an express card, or would my laptop controller overide the TI chipset on an express card?ģ) Are there interface hubs that convert firewire to usb2 and would that make any sense because I know that as far as laptops are concerned, the firewire ports are becomming less common.Ĥ) I am thinking that the loss of communication between the motu 8pre and the laptop are due to the occasional spikes in the DCP latency. the latences ocassionally jump (spike) into the red. I can achieve lower latences and stay in low latency ranges when disabling stuff in my device manager and prior to loading sonar using asio etc.

The firewire port is using RICOH OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller which as I understand it controls my express slot also.
