Anyone running motu with Ryzen?
Is anyone running motu with Ryzen chips successfully? I have. 2700x and I’ve been in a perpetual state of trouble shooting for 6 months

Sorry to hear that. The AMD chips promise tremendous power for DAW use, what with their high core counts and performance/price ratio. Have you been talking with MOTU at all? Might be worth getting a conversations started.

Re: Anyone running motu with Ryzen?
I sent my interface back to them yesterday. Hopefully it was that.
Re: Anyone running motu with Ryzen?
Me....unfortunately. I have a MOTU MK3 Ultralite running on a Ryzen 9 CPU and Win 11 Pro PC (USB connection). When I play and also when I listen to music on Youtube, audio is often noisy with pops and glitches but, worse than that, often sliding on pitch. The same interface was running on Win 7 and an Intel old CPU in a perfect way before I changed my DAW. In addition, 44.1 sample rate 16bit doesn't work with online music (Youtube, FB and so on).

Re: Anyone running motu with Ryzen?
There’s been a bit of noise about Ryzen over the years but little of it good regarding pro audio hardware. Apparently, it’s not a driver issue.
Finding a board on this not dominated by gamers who think there is no problem is difficult but this has a few suggestions.

Re: Anyone running motu with Ryzen?
Yes I am. Here's some systeminfo output:
It's a Ryzen 9 processor. I found running through a USB 2 hub was critical to get my 828x to connect reliably. I'm not super impressed with my latency numbers, normally running with a buffer of 512 samples to get audio with no clicks or dropouts. I have been using the 89606 drivers so far and just installed the 92178 versions.
It can be done, and it's workable but I'm not calling it beautiful.

AMD 5900X CPU + Motu 16A (usb connected) here, Windows 10, 64 bit.
The bad: 1-3 times a week the soundcard goes into a mode where the output sounds metallic, as if there's something buffer related that's gone crazy. It has never happened to the input. Changing either sample rate or buffer size fixes the problem right away. Bying a brand new proper quality USB cable did not help.
The good: Apart from the above glitch, performance, stability and general experience is fantastic. And the CPU kicks ass too. So I'm gonna stick to this setup despite that issue.
