Probably the chipset on the firewire card that your using isn't a TI one. Also, remember to disable the 1394 network connection. Not doing that will cause you all kinds of issues.

The 896 certainly is not causing the dropouts, I use one and have virtually no problem with dropouts running hige projects. Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: Annabelle Susan Morison To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 9:58 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: audio drop out I'm having trouble with audio dropouts too. However, for me, it's my MOTU 896HD interface that's doing it to me. Since I record all my music and other recordings onto an external hard drive. Isn't there an audio interface of some sort, that doesn't have any risk of audio dropouts? Or are they all the same? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Todd Houghton Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 6:51 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: audio drop out Hey Dave and all. Are there any hard and fast rules for setting these parameters? As far as I can tell, nothing in the Caketalking tutorials address this issue. While I'm on the subject, what about all the other items listed in the audio options section that deal directly with Sonar? Are there any guide-lines on making those settings in order to optimize performance? Inquiring minds just want to know.
