KVR Audio

I just bought a MOTU ultralite, but I have some problems

1. Every time I start Motu's Audio Setup - Cuemix console - and Cubase SX I get a loud audio popping and LED dance from the LCD for like 10-30 seconds.

2. When I record in Cubase SX I get very loud digital distortion

I use dell inspiron 6000 centrino laptop, Adaptec Firewire AFW-1430 PCMCIA card, and power the MOTU ultralite with a 9v 3a DC power supply. Windows XP SP2

Any ideas what it could be? PCMCIA card? a bad firewire cable or software problem?

sounds like clocking/syncing, is the MOTU sample rate set the same as your system. Is the Ultralite using an extrenal clock of some sort?

I'm using one on my Mac without any problems, can;t comment on the pc though.

I hate to say this, but there is a large contingent of people who believe it is SP2 and firewire. There is a bit of a site at http://s15.invisionfree.com/MOTUXP that didn't get too far. The main MOTU site has some stuff on their discussion group as well http://www.unicornation.com/phpBB2/index.php (you have to register). I have a similar issue going with an 828 interface. If you email MOTU, they tell you to uninstall SP2. Not really a practical option for most of us with one all purpose computer. They say that SP2 caused some sort of incompatability with firewire. Of course you may have something else going on.
