Hi Guys,

I am currently using my FF400 UC on a Laptop with the following specs.

I7 1.60 CPU
4 GB Ram
7400 RPM HD
250 GB HD

Windows 7 64bit

I am running Cubase 5.5.2 (64bit) with Spectrasonics and Native Instruments Plugins (64bit).

Now the problems i am having are as follows:

Drops out of audio playback at random points in playback.
Complete overload of thew ASIO driver which causes the ASIO meter in Cubase to MAX out so i cant play or hear anything apart from crunching and grinding.  This requires a complete reboot.

I am running at 512 on the card so i am surprised at any issues here BUT the thing that upsets me the most is that when i use ASIO4ALL there are NONE of these issues.

Also i am using minimal USB ports on the laptop as it only has 3, so 1 for Dongle and 1 for Soundcard.

Wireless and Ethernet NIC are both UNINSTALLED.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me as its quite sole destroying and extremely frustrating.

Many thanks,

Mark
