MAD AS HELL WHY "NO AUDIO DEVICE FOUND"

[BMOG]

I BOUGHT MOTU ULTRALITE MK3 LAST NIGHT AND VISTA WILL NOT DETECT THE AUDIO DEVICE VIA FIREWIRE. NOW I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS VISTA OR THE MOTU OR BOTH, I AM USING THE ONBOARD FIREWIRE, SHOULD I BUY PCI FIREWIRE CARD IF SO WHICH ONE? SHOULD I TRY A FIRE TO USB CABLE WILL THAT WORK??? I AM SO FUSTRATED, MOTU WAS RECOMMEND SEVERAL TIMES AS A GOOD INTERFACE BUT I AM WONDERING IF THAT IS ONLY FOR MAC??? I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF I HAVE THE LATEST DRIVERS FROM MOTU THE SOFTWARE IS ON MY PC BUT CAN'T DETECT THE AUDIO DEVICE. I NEED SOME DIRECTION OR I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THIS BACK. I HAVE ALSO READ A LOT OF POST ABOUT CRACKING AN DELAYS I AM REALLY WONDERING IF I HAVE BOUGHT THE WRONG PRODUCT

First off...the all caps thing...no.

Secondly, the drivers that shipped on CD with my MOTU Ultralite did not work with Vista 64...so if you are using the 64 bit version of Vista make sure you download the latest drivers.

Thirdly...there are times when my (Lucent Chipset) firewire card doesn't recognize the Ultralite in Vista unless I start the Ultralite when the PC is turned off (using the supplied power adapter). Try turning the Ultralite on while the PC is shut off and then boot up.

Get a pci firewire card with a Texas Instrument chipset. MOTU recommends the same for their audio interfaces.

This firewire card is OK: http://www.guitarcenter.com/ADS-Tech-PY ... 1391105.gc

If you don't like the audio interface you bought, return it.
