In fact, I just gave up and bought a MOTU 824kII. The MOTU has an onboard DSP to off load some of the work from the CPU. Works great! I will say that I had better success if I screwed around with the buffers on the Firebox. It seems to want a specific buffer setting. Not too high or low. -ajm

Originally posted by gsHarmony Check the sonar forums. I remember seeing some problems over there with the firepod. Unforuntately, I don't remember the solution off the top of my head. I give it a try.

Originally posted by DontLetMeDrown I have a Firepod. There is a similar nuance that I experienced when used it on my older (slower) computer: everytime you create a new track in Sonar, it changes the output to "Firepod Output 1/2". I monitor out of my other soundcard, and whenever Sonar would do this, the sound would start to play, then drop out. I think this is because the Sonar is trying to output to two separate soundcards. Make sure all the outputs in your session are going to either an auxiliary bus, or your master output. Let me know if that fixes it. Good luck:thu: I'm using the Firebox output 1/2 to monitor the mix. I have the internal soundcard disabled.

Originally posted by mickeymickey What program are you using? I had a similar problem up until recently while using Sonar. You got to make sure you're using the ASIO or WDM drivers. I'm using Sonar Producer vs. 5. However, during testing I'm just trying to get an mp3 to playback through realplayer or any simple playback piece of software. I checked and I'm using WDM drivers. Sonar acts the same way as realplayer when I try to play back a song...dropouts.

-------------------------- I just bought a Presonus Firebox recording interface and can't get the dropouts to go away at any setting. I've tried high, medium and low cpu settings on the firebox. I've tried setting the latency as high as 25ms. I've tried shutting down every service on the PC I could get away with. I also shutdown networking. For testing, I'm just trying to play a simple mp3 file using quicktime or any playback software. The file plays but there are dropouts every couple of seconds. Anyway, here's my setup...please help. HP Media Center PC PROC - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core, 2.0Ghz, 3Gig memory Drive - 250Gig, 7200. OS - Microsoft Media Center Recording interface - Presonus Firebox..firewire interface.
