sjoens Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I found one reason CbB hangs in memory - causing it to not reopen. Safely removing & unplugging my MOTU micro lite quite often releases it. Problem is, doing so sometimes causes Windows to blue screen. This shouldn't be happening! On another note, CbB sometimes does not see the MOTU when it's connected. It's connected directly into the computer. Any ideas why? I've tried other USB ports.

scook Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Check for MOTU driver update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Is yours buss powered? My M4 is bus powered and Motu support recommended I buy a PCIe USB 3 card. Thanks Motu, you saved $10 on a wall wrt and now I have to spend $30 to get power. That solved all my weirdness with the exception of I get distorted recordings randomly where the only fix is to re boot the computer. Have no clue why. It's defiantly to do with running other apps when Cakewalk is open. Never had this issue with my Tascam or Focusrite. Also it's supper fussy about everything must be set to either 44.1 or 48. Windows, Cakewalk all my audio and video software, everything or things don't work. Might be something you could try too. Motu is sort of on my s--t list now. Mostly it behaves and all is good. Be a while before I need another interface and hopefully this time I'll have the cash for what I really want- RME.

sjoens Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks. Looks like a new driver came out this month. Installing now. Unfortunately the micro lite is only bus powered - no power jack, so we'll see how the new driver works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Latest drivers seen by Windows but not one of my audio programs sees them , so back to the old drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You should contact Motu support. They got back to me within a day. I wasn’t happy about the solution but it did solve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old 828 mkll FW. I've updated the FW card a couple of times as Windows evolved and it's continued to work well until now. Now when I'm using it for mixing, the audio output will become garbled and I'll have to restart Cakewalk to correct. I checked for new drivers and found that my 2015 drivers were the latest. I asked MOTU about that and was told that they dropped support of that product in 2015 which apparently isn't true. I saw a couple of 2021 Mac driver updates. So it looks like it's Windows that they dropped support of in 2015. The fact that Windows 10 doesn't support is a complication but the FW card makers seem to have a way of keeping FW working.

John Vere Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes it was after I bought the M4 I realized they were a Mac Centric company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William W. Saunders, Jr. Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Try connecting it to a USB 2 port instead of USB 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Not with Motu. Support was very clear about using a dedicated USB3 port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmcleod Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 My old MidiSport 8x8s occasionally blue-screens once or twice a year (usually after a Windows update). A driver re-install usually cures it. I also have a MidiTech MIDIFace 8x8, which has been rock-solid ever since I bought it... just in case you're looking for an alternative.
