896HD - Output Names are all off

Post by Logicology »

Hi everyone,

I just updated to the latest Win XP 64 drivers and now in Sonar and other windows apps (like Winamp) all the output names are off by one. For example when I select Main Output audio comes out 1-2, when I select 1-2 it comes out 3-4, etc... To have audio come out my main outs, I must select 7-8.

I can't find any setting. Is this a bug with the drivers or something that I can fix on my end?

Thank you.

Apparently it is a bug in the newest driver... From what I understand it has been reported to MOTU... They were able to reproduce the bug and I believe they are working on a fix for it... No clue as to when they'll release an updated version though... Just know it's not your setup that's the problem... It's the new driver... I would roll back to an earlier version until an update is released!

Thank you very much. I do feel better knowing it's not just me. I'll roll back and wait it out like you suggested.

If you set Sonar to use the Wave driver instead of the ASIO driver, you won't have this problem.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

That's true, but I get better latency with ASIO and my setup. Thanks though.
