We finally heard back from MoTU. They wanted another $79 for the repair work but when I informed them that this was just repaired and had not worked yet they waived it I believe or will be charging me again on our account. We are very disappointed with the 896HD having spent $1200 on it so far since...

It i...

I was quite happy with Sonar 4 - 6.2 and using Motu hardware but based upon the poor quality of the 896HD and support we are going to most likely switch to the ProTools HD system.

MoTU support

I must say that I am very disappointed with the quality and support from MoTU. We had both our 828mkII and our 6 month old 896HD that we hadn't used yet quit. It took about a month for MoTU to finally issue the RMA for both (our studio had to cancel several sessions during the time). After paying th...

Sounds like interface as in maybe the card or the input device. I have had (2) 896HD and 1 828mkII go bad that do a similar thing when the firewire goes out.

896HD high failure rate?

We have had 1 828mkII and 2 896HDs fail in the past 6 months all with less than 10 hours of use. Has anyone else experienced hardward issues like this with the 896HD?

This probably explains why the sync is not working in our previous thread.

It took me several months of research and testing to have both of my motus work at the same time. I'm presently back to square one after reinstalling most of my studio equipment. They both show up however I can never get them the sync over firewire as the master takes priority and the slave doesn't ...

i have never had a problem with XP in 32bit mode however the 3.6.7.3 driver for xp 64 did fry both my 828mkII and 896HD. After upgrading the system to XP64 the devices would not recognize after reboot and would also no longer recognize in any other 32 bit systems. MoTU has repaired the two items (an...

I was using my FW-1884 since it has yet to fail however it does not work at all under XP64. Once the 828mkII was back from repair I switched back to using it. The MoTU products are great but the support is the worst I have ever seen for sure. They seem to be a big company but considering how difficu...

I had a similar problem with the Asus SLI Deluxe board. Everything worked fine under XP32 but once the MoTU 64bit drivers came out and I upgraded to XP64 it fried my MoTU device and would no longer work in any of my other PCs. It took some time for MoTU to get me the RMA and replacement and I never ...

Both my 828mkII and 896HD worked for a whole 15seconds until i rebooted my PC. The devices were recognized but when I rebooted the PC they will no longer show up. The devices also no longer work under XP 32 as it seems the firewire is somehow fried on both devices. The 828mkII was working fine on th...
