hey just setup a ne wultralite, want to use for cubase sx3 and ableton. after setup i can't select the MOTU ASIO though, only just like DX ins/outs (1-2

) and it gives very bad sounds.

anyone know what the problem is?

Same boat here. Let me guess!! You are running VISTA right. Please see the massive posts on VISTA and Firewire and Ultralite. I would also almost guess you have an HP laptop with RICOH firewire chipset in it but I shouldn't guess that far.

THat is where I am. Reinstalled last night with a SIIG EpressCard Firewire Card with the TI chip and got the same noises you speak of on DX. No ASIO at all.

Can you not select it in Cubase or in Live.. And do you have the newest drivers for your Steinberg dongle from syncrosoft?

Your right about both! Problem is, I have read in these posts that WIN XP has same problem, No MOTU ASIO. I have come to believe that what has been said about the RICOH Firewire chipsets is true, and I have recently confirmed it. I have VISTA on an HP dv9500T laptop, which i just bought by the way, and I would not work at all. Found out that the Firewire Chipset is RICOH. Friday, I brought my Ultralite and Kontakt 2 to work and loaded both on a friends brand new HP Compaq dx9420 laptop which has the TI Firewire chipset, and VISTA Ultimate. Frivers ran the first time through and what do you know, sound come through crystal clear and pumpin using the MOTU ASIO driver.
