can be connected to any FireWire- or USB 2.0-equipped Mac or PC. Even the page for the 828MKII on MOTU's website doesn't note this requirement and simply states. It should be on the fucking box, right next to where it says: Simply plug in your FireWire cable, and both MIDI and audio are ready to go! Cross platform compatibility with Windows ME/2000/XP!. Honestly man, I'm a consumer - these requirements should be extremely clear. When reverting back to a lower buffer size Winamp plays MP3's fine.ДЄnyone run into similar frustrations? This is fucking ridiculous. I'm working in 44.1.ДЄlso, when I left the buffer size increased pretty high (after exiting the sequencer out of frustration), it completely chokes audio up even in Winamp when doing something as simple as playing an MP3. It keeps going no matter how high I increase the buffer size from the MOTU ASIO control panel. Apparantly this $800 sound card however, can't handle even the most simple of projects without pops and clicks, and completely dropping sound from time to time. Look, songs inside my sequencer that could play without skipping a beat when using significantly lower end soundcard (M-Audio Delta 44) had no problem. The unfortunate thing is that it works very poorly.

The hope was that the lousy software installation may have actually installed drivers into my windows directories, and that the hardware wizard could find them. Eventually I gave up and just clicked 'find drivers' when the new hardware wizard appeared. So, I downloaded the 'drivers' from the MOTU website - same result. Windows found new hardware and brought up the new hardware screen, and prompted me to insert a CD - this apparantly, should not have happened, I am to understand. Then, after successful installation and reboot, I connected the firewire cable for the 828MKII, and powered it on. I am running Windows XP SP2.ДЇirst, after reading the installation instructions, I installed the software that came on the CD. I have had several problems with my recently purchased Motu 828 MKII firewire sound card.
