pismo 500. in high cpu usage situations, or if the firewire bus gets used by
something else, the _input_ leds will flicker even with nothing connected
and the 828 stops outputting audio for a moment.
thats the situation it would crash before the latest driver.

could you tell me more. my device was send to motu and came back with the
comment that its ok. i have tested it in about 15 different situations in
different countries, with different power and connections... all the same,
the thing adds a buzz to my input signals that is way above the singel level
of material i try to record.

why is syncing to lightpipe not a good idea?

so i am happy it works fine for you.
the point is there are some people that get the 828 to work just fine and
some (some more that i know of) that don't.
for the rme, it does everthing everyone was expecting it to do, no more, no
less, and thats what i love about a product these days. no mysterious
mis-configurations.

with _really_ kind regards,
ulf.
