Hey guys, need help!
have a gig and radio tomorrow!
i have the 410 maudio and im using ableton 6.0.7, also soundforge.
my mic in works in ableton for about 5 mins, then it just stops working and the firewire wont work in soundforge either (mic input).
it just knocks off automatically.
its not ableton specific, anyone know what this could be?
i have a dell 6400

have to ask... are you using both at the same time?
check to see what your AUDIO is setup as in ableton.
i know ASIO and multiple sound apps opened at the same time don't play so nice together.

Hi,
I have been having months of problems with ableton and my firewire 410 (same problem, it just randomly cuts out after 5 mins). After many phonecalls to support I found out that the 410 will NEVER work with windows media edition. After reinstalling xp pro I was still having problems and was then told that my Dell laptops firewire port is also incompatable with the 410 (something to do with IRQ conflicts). Just ordered a new firewire card (with a texas instruments chipset), hoping this will finally solve my problem.
I think its terrible that they don't mention these things beforehand!
Hope that helps

the 4pin PC firewire is dodgy as hell
