Steinberg MR 816 causes Cakewalk crash

[plithner]

Cross-posting because I didn't know which forum was the right one...

I recently purchased a firewire soundcard from Steinberg/Yamaha, the MR 816 csx. Why, you may ask? Well, because it was cheap at $40 or so... Still it seems to be a fairly good sound card with decent preamps.

As far as I can tell,  it works very well as an audio interface to cakewalk, but I also wanted to make use of the DSP effects in the soundcard (a reverb and a channelstrip). 

However, when I try to use these in Cakewalk, e.g. like this: 

 

Cakewalk crashes; 

 

Any ideas on what is up? Anything I can try out to fix?

Thanks!

If your send me the dump file I can send it to Steinberg. It appears to be a crash in their plugin

I have the MR816, not the csx version. The crash occurs when I try to load the plug ins. I have always assumed that it was because I did not have the csx version. Perhaps you configured the unit as a MR816 instead of a MR816csx.

@scottfa I'm not sure how I could even configure the csx as anything but csx... can you elaborate a little bit?
