MOTU 828 MK3 Latency issues (mutes & beeps) resolved!

[Raphie]

I've resolved my latency problem

I went to device manager
Selected my Seagate SATA-II drive
right clicked > properties
choose policies TAB
clicked " Enable Advanced performance"

ALL latency issues gone, work now with 256kb samplesize and can run VST SX3 and mediaplayer while surfing on the internet without ANY problems.

The problem lays in the fact that if you have AHCI enabled for your disk controller (using the manufacturers drivers) you NEED to enable advanced performance otherwise you are in IDE emulated mode.

Try and let me know!

Can confirm a 2 hour SX3 session, with no single hickup or beep, high pitched whine.

I am impressed! this unit works flawles!

What if the options are greyed out?

What OS are you using?
did you install your OS in AHCI mode? (AHCI enabled in BIOS?)
Did you use the mobo manufacturer driver for the diskcontroller?
