Hey Greg!  

If you're not using the Motu then disconnect it for sure!  

Don't worry about questions re: the FW, I got my first one back in 2005, and 
there wasn't anyone around whom I could question about it, so I'm well aware of 
its many foibles...  

Laters

Mike

  Mike you're absolutely correct, I switched over to 1 and 2 and now sound 
forge plays just fine. I'll probably have more than one silly question over the 
next few weeks. Lol. I do appreciate the help for sure.  I'll try that control 
f 2 during play back. I heard that if I un install the MOTU that my machine 
might behave better.

    Hey Greg!  

    Firstly, there ain't a mike on/off switch on the FW.  

    Re: your buffers, always perform the meter 'trip'!  
    That is, ctrl + F2 to turn on all the peak meters, then after playback 
press ctrl + F2 twice, to turn them off.  
    I find this imperative since I started using the FW.  

    Also, are you sure that outputs 7&8 are actually going to your monitoring 
gear?  

    Most peeps use outputs 1&2, which you never really have to alter, unless, 
of course, you're outputting to multiple devices...

      Trying to get sound forge to play what I exported from sonar.
      I went in to preferences and set up play back, to 7 and 8, of the FW, but 
no sound comes out. I have it set up to use a mic in 7, so I figure there must 
be a mic line switch somewhere, but I don't know where it is. Can anyone help 
me out? I'm getting a few more drop outs than I was with the motu, I set my 
buffers back to, 512, and my laytency to 50 percent. Is there anything else I 
should try before going even further that way? My friend says, that when these 
things happen, the computer screen says busy..
