[frs] b17 crash, driver failure when adjusting within live

Post by mikemc » Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:55 am

I attempted to do something I usually don't do, and that is to access the driver for whatever device from within Live, but things were working well so I tried it. I had been using looper. I am not entirely sure whether or not this happened while the set was playing, there may have been audio still going coming from the reverb.

When hitting the "Hardware Setup" button I got a hardcore OS crash, physical memory dump started-- the error was something like IRQL -- this greater than that but don't recall the whole message, it surprised me so much, should've been more aware. The motufw.sys driver was indicated as the cause of the error.

Live recovered the set on restart, but I was missing the last audio clip that I had been recording.

[edit] that last part was incorrect. I was not missing the audio clip, i was missing the audio that I had been recording within looper. So when live crashes you lose that, i guess that is the way it goes.

I went back into the set, and pressed 'hardware setup', the problem did not occur.
UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.

Just to make sure: The problem occurred when adjusting properties in the ASIO driver's own panel with the ASIO driver of your MOTU interface?
