Cool.

Had problems with my first unit. Sent it to the US from Sweden on a monday, got a new unit on friday the same week!

Everything works smoothly (and sounds great!) with 1.05, and my fw-chipset is the infamous NEC. Couldn´t be happier. Will update to 1.06 though. What issues will this upgrade solve btw?

It's good to know not everybody has to contend with the sound glitches. My understanding is that this latest update (v 1.06) was designed to further address this problem. We'll see. . .

By the way, what was wrong with the first unit you got?

Noisy headphone o/p and a strange sinewave tone on all inputs.
Everything works great now, tried to record all analog inputs with lots of vst/vstis going on. Not a hickup. Using high buffers though.

I´m on a ordinary HP pavilion laptop (5400 rpm hd) with vista home. Perhaps I´m lucky..

I have the same problem installing the new drivers and firmware. When having installed the new drivers and trying to update the firmware to 1.06, the 828 is not recognised by the installation program.

The only way I could get the firmware updted to work was basically using the instructions described above.

Short Windows XP instruction set.

1. Uninstall all drivers using Windows uninstaller.
2. Reboot (just in case, your might be abler to skip, but I like to do it).
3. Install new drivers
4. Reboot (just in case, your might be abler to skip, but I like to do it).
5. Connect 828mk3 via firewire, hold down parm button and power up.
KEEP holding power parm button until bootloader message displays
the SECOND time. Windows should recognize device and load MOTU
Audio driver.
6. Run MOTU updater and install new firmware.
7. After update, cucle power and let Windowd load all drivers.

MY ISSUES RESOLVED!!

MOTU posted new drivers and firmware on Friday, 6/20. File name is 828mk3_106ud.zip. Firmware version is 1.06 and driver version is 3.6.8.1328.

These new drivers resolved all my firewire issues, I can now run multiple units and CueMix fx works just fine. I haven't checked driver latency yet, but everything is working through Sonar and Sonar shows a mixer latency of 10.7 ms using the MOTU ASIO drivers.

any help would be great thanks.
