Problem with Motu ULTRALITE and Rokit speakers FIXED!!!

Post by brightonalex » Wed Feb 13, 2008 5:00 pm

Firstly I disabled my internal audio card, as per the instructions.

Then I followed the advice of some punter on Bluelounge forum, and downloaded a firewire card latency tool, or some kind of a thing.

It shows the different latency settings on all your different cards (or something). So I changed my firewire card to 255, like the guy suggested, and all the other ones to 000.

Its worked, pretty much. I'd thank him but I can't seem to register for that forum.

Anyway, if all else fails, rtfm.[/b]

It sounds like a driver issue to me. If you have a desktop machine, it's probably your firewire chipset. MOTU doesn't play nice with certain chipsets. I went through three different cards before I found one that worked. IT was worth it though.

What is your computer?

But it gives you the power to predict the future! I now know when I'm about to get a text or phone call depending on the sound.

Its a Toshiba Satellite. Google brings up quite a few people with this problem, but the say you need a "Texas Instruments" chipset, which I have.
Can you tell me which card worked for you? and how do you put a new card in a laptop anyway?! Nothings ever easy, is it.

From what I've read over at Unicornation, there are quite a few people who have issues running the Ultralite in Windows. I've got mine hooked up to a pair of RP5's and it works fine, but it's on a Powerbook.
