Topic: New to this Forum.Hardcore problems with ff400 and New computer.

Hi.

i am new to this forum but own a FF400 for more than a year now.

I just got a new laptop in replacement of my former pc who got destroyed.

Its a Hp  intel Core i7 Cpu Q720@ 1.60Ghz
             4 GB of ram/64 Bit.

the problem is that I can't seem to make my fireface to work.
My other laptop was fine,
I am wondering if any one had the same problem with a similar Cpu or If anyone have some advices.

It's really disturbing me because I have gigs lined-up and Don't know what to do.

It can't even play the most basic sound without hardcore crakles.

Help!!

I have tried it and it says it okay.But I still cant play anything at all.

Windows media player doesnt work and asio is even worst.

I'm starting to fear the worst.It was perfectly fine on my other computer and on my girl friends mac.

I will continue troubleshooting.And praying.

I was about to ask about that... It means you have problems with Firewire transfer errors. Is this an onboard FW chip?

I Have tried both the on board fire wire and an express card.Nothing is working..I m gonna have to return my laptop..or get an usb card (after selling my ff).Gurr!!
I really wish there was something I could do..seems like a lost  cause.

When I use the onboard one I get error 4

Is the playback "normal" apart from clicks etc., i.e. do you hear the signal?
What kind of Expresscard is this? What FW chip is onboard?

I hear the signal, sometimes..other times it just doesnt work. I think my IEEE is the JMicron BS adaptor..im not sure because its not written anywhere..and my express card is a ti chipset adaptor...Im gonna return my pc i guess. and check Caaaaaaarefullly before getting the new one.

Hey alexoostheok !!

I got a deal on the same laptop you have!!! 1200 CAD with the processor boost,and you know what? its because of you, I wondered what  '' Adk 1q Mv'' as your signature meant,went to check and tadam!! Im ordering it at ten this morning!!! hopefully it will get here by friday(its only 14 hours away by car!!!)

Im so excited!!And Im very happy that I found support here on the forum.After a year and a half of dedication to my FF400 I will finally be able to use it.I never used it for my tracks with a latency under 20ms..cuz my PC was crap..And I didnt know.

So big up the RME community!!

Im not a big time recorder, but the FF400 routing and precision is exactly what I needed in my (mobile) Studio,

Thx Again!!!  rotfl
