ok, this question is more about the computer than producing but i was hoping that someone might have encountered this problem and might be able to help me out...
so i bought my M-Audio firewire 410 yesterday and when i installed it, it raised hell with my computer. after working on it for about 6 hours last night i finally got the 410 installed and the system stable and running. the problem i am having is that the audio out of the soundcard is full of static and all crackly and just sounds like . i called m-audio tech support (seriously very helpful and nice i didnt even have to wait on hold) and we determined that the problem i am having is that my firewire controller and my video card are running on the same IRQ.
as soon as i am done posting this i am goin to disable any devices that im not using that are taking up IRQs (com1 and 2, lpt and such). remove my firewire card and reinstall it. however i ahve a really bad feeling that this will not solve my problem.
so my question is: does anyone know how to manually relocate my IEEE 1394 controller to a different IRQ?
thanks guys!

| IEEE 1394 successfully switched to IRQ 5 and is the only device on that IRQ. sounds still sucks! The tech guys at M-audio are stumped and so am I. any help, ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated! |

ive read that the card has problem with NEC firewire chip.
i'm still waiting for my 410, this ebay bastard hasnt shipped it for 2 and half weeks :mad:
another thing you can try: remove ur firewire hardware profile, take the card out move it to a different slot, reinstall drivers.
let me know how it goes... |
