NEW STICKY FOR DRIVER DOWNLOADS!!

[VigilantSound]

Administrator, I think it would benefit the entire MOTU Windows community if we had a sticky where everyone could post the different driver versions they have! I would be willing to put all I have up!

Anyone Else?

[James Steele]

Done deal. This topic is now a sticky. Post away.

The 3.6.7.x drivers are the last drivers for the pre MKIII hardware. Later ones have double latency compared to these.

And let me add the link to the AVT firewire drivers (3rd party) for Windows (thanks RealRoach)

I have an ageing 828 (Mk1). Does anyone know if there are any 64bit drivers released for this that will be compatible with the upcoming Windows 7.

Or am I destined to spend more hard earned cash???

OK... Hi there. first post, although I've had a MOTU for a while and really enjoyed it (when I can). So here's a sad story that I hope will have a real happy ending:

About 5 years ago I went to a guy who claimed to be an 'audio computer expert', who could 'build me a great laptop' for doing audio with. So he started off by recommending I get a MOTU 828 mk II, which I had totally planned to do anyway. Then I go round to his place for weeks on end, and eventually he orders me a (package) laptop from the states (other side of the world from me in Aussie at the time).

It finally arrives, and he holds onto it for another few days to install essential malware. I eventually get it home and I'm like "Right, here we go".

Plug in the MOTU.
Plug in the Laptop.
Turn both on.
Plug firewire into Motu.
Plug firewire into...
Plug firewire into...
Hang on. No firewire.

SO this TOOL has got me a laptop without firewire.

To cut a long story short, I've had to use a PCMCIA slot ever since, and it is dodgy at the best of times. I have been unable to use the MOTU for about three years.

BUT finally got a macbook pro and installed Vista on it.

PROBLEM:

Downloaded the new 64 bit drivers for windows, but it won't run!
Crashes while installing, then leaves all the folders and such there and won't finish. The installer says something along the lines of 'something is missing, contact manufacturer'
Looks installed, but when I plug in the 828 it doesn't recognise it.

SO: two things:

*Is anyone familiar with this issue?
*Does anyone have the latest firewire drivers for 64 bit windows? That are PROVED to run sweet?

I've contacted MOTU, but I'm real keen to get my stuff happening again.
Frustrated.

Anyone?

OK... well does anyone have any idea why my drivers installer app crashed? And how I can manually uninstall the messed up drivers?

HELP!

[bmogo]

Well I can't help you, but I can confirm that this problem is not unique to you. I have Windows 7 64 bit, RTM,not the BETA or RC.

When I tried to install the available Vista 74 bit drivers, the install hung, did not finish, Control Panel shows the install but won't remove it, and nothing works. When I install the 32 bit Vista drivers under a Windows 7 32 bit install, they work.

It seems MOTU 64 bit drivers have problems. Sorry I couldn't be of any other help.

This is an update to my post about Windows 7 64 bit drivers. I had previously tried the Vista 64 bit drivers, the install crashed and I could not reinstall or remove the program entry from Control Panel.

Based on some research in another forum I was able to find a solution to this, and it worked!

Here is what I did: Reinstalled 64 bit Windows 7 (as I couldn't get rid of the previous crashed install). Right clicked on the setup.exe file of the 64 bit Vista drivers, told it to run in Windows Vista w/ SP1 mode, and also to run as an administrator.

The drivers installed, and Sonar 8 Producer is working in a 64 bit install with them just fine. Incidentally, I am in IT so I have access to the RTM of Windows 7 Enterprise which is exactly the same as Windows 7 Ultimate. The only difference is how they are validated by Microsoft. This is not the BETA or RC of Windows 7.

These will get me by until MOTU releases updates.

Bmogo-
which version of drivers were you using that worked?

[UltimateOutsider]

Hi, I don't understand what this thread is about; is this to track older versions of the MOTU drivers than the ones available from the official site? I'm looking into this because when my new 500GB arrives I'm going to be installing both Win 7 32-bit and 64-bit in separate partitions, and I want to be sure I've got the most stable 32/64 drivers for my UltraLite MK3 and micro lite.
