How to retrieve old drivers???

Post by chemicalseb »

I just installed the latest firewire drivers for windows xp, which made my 828 completely unusable. I luckily found the 3.30 drivers, however where can i find the 3.32, which is the one before the latest drivers?

I can't find it anywhere.

Huh. I guess I'm not alone with these problems then.
Bought a firewire 828 mkII and got dropouts every 5 mins when connected to network plus occasional crashes.
Swapped for a USB2 version, did a totally clean reinstall of XP and still get audio dropouts when connected to network.

Does anyone know if the older drivers support the USB2 model ?
Or am I stuck with 3.6.6.0, which several of you seem to think aren't very stable.

After a frustrating month, reaching end of tether.
Any other suggestions before it gets swapped for a different product altogether?

robert_roast, I don't think you are stuck with 3.6.6.0.
Looks like motu released 3.6.7.0 for both 32bit and x64 system.
Has anyone tried 3.6.7.0 yet?

I used information found at the RME site to roll back the two specific .DLLs in WinXP SP2 to the SP1 version. (much less scary that uninstalling all of SP2). This has GREATLY improved the stability of my setup.
