Ableton Forum

First off, I'm new here so Hello.

Now to the good stuff.

I'm running an 828mkII with ableton live 6... for some reason when I'm using the ASIO driver for the 828 I don't see the spdif out in the output config... nor do I see mic/guitar on the input. Just a bunch of analog inputs/outputs.

If I select MME/DirectX as my driver for the 828 I now see these inputs, but the latency is horrible.

Anyone run into this and know of a solution.

I've reinstalled the drivers a few times and the same problem exists.

Using a Compaq R3000 laptop (p4 1gigmem) and the 828 via firewire. In other apps the inputs/outputs show up fine.

Thanks

Orrr, you could tell me what string to put into the search..

I'm not picky.

Hi man

First: Do you have the S/PDIF input available with ASIO?

Second: Motu firewire interfaces, work properly with Texas intstruments or Lucent firewire chipsets on pcs/laptops with XP as O.S.

Try also the ASIO 4 all driver

Hey!

ur audios last outputs are for optical output. Ie if u have 10 outputs avaitable u choose 9and10 to optical outputs. Try this one. Atleast it worked for me when i was in studio last week. i have m-audio fw 1814.

That's the ticket!

I discovered this messing around last night. It's interesting that ableton doesn't label the inputs the way they should show up.

In cubase I see spdif etc using the same asio drivers.

My laptop firewire works but seems to be buggy with ableton for some reason, it's solid in cubase though.

Time to search for the xp sp2+firewire threads.

Thanks for the replies.

no prob

you wil not see them.
the spdif of the motu is the last one 13/14 out in ableton.
the other you can do is to enable all outputs play a track and check your motu
