I'm going to post here instead of a new post because my issue is similar. That and gualso's answer about the drivers can get answered too. I just got an original Motu with the PCI card. Everything installed ok and their have been no error messages yet. I have yet to hook up the mixers to the 3 ports on the back because I am waiting for the cords. BUT.. I dont see the correct audio console screen. The cue mix works ok but the only thing that shows up for the audio console is the buffer, bit-depth, word clock, etc page.
There should be a monitor mixer right? or no? Or will I just choose channels from sonar and control trim and faders with my mixer only?
I haven't panicked too much yet but if something goes wrong these are the things I've gathered from posts as to what to do in this situation:
-get the newest drivers which I believe are the MARCH drivers
-see what kind of chipset is in my PC (maybe upgrade to AMD/VIA or INTEL if my current one is crappy and old)
-since i believe the PCI324 needs a 5 volt power source maybe switch to an N-Force 2 or 3 main board
Does anybody have any other courses of action that could help me tackle a potential problem with getting this card to work?

Hi Gualso and Dude,
I've been meaning to get back in here with this small list, but have been dragging my feet. There are some suggestions from the Nuendo forum which might save you some trouble, and may involve only a motherboard swap, depending on what you've got laying around.
http://forum.nuendo.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9370
I'll still try to skim through it later and get the relevant model numbers, but you should see them in there.

PS- I actually run a 424 here.

Hey thanks jidis, without people like you we would be stuck staring at our setups for the next month! Even though just getting a more fitting motherboard or chipset would be cheaper, it seems to me just getting a 424 will be more beneficial considering I don't have any spare PC parts layin around. I found a 424 on ebay for 200 and I'll just sell mine and pay the difference for the upgrade. But fellow 324 owners, don't let my decision discourage you, I've heard of many people who use the 324 and have no complaints!

Beware, MOTU has two versions of the 424, the first of which was revised because it became incompatible much in the same way the 324 has (ie, with 3.3v PCI slots). I'm pretty sure MOTU has a technote discussing how to identify the old 424 card vs the newer one.thedude400 wrote:I found a 424 on ebay for 200 and I'll just sell mine and pay the difference for the upgrade.
If buying used you might end up with an old 424 card and be in the same position as you are now.

"They go up."
"They go up."
I thought to mention that afterward too, but figured he'd already grabbed one, so I didn't want to bum him out if it was an original. 
I figure that's most likely to be the one that would show up used. Mine actually is an original 424, but it hasn't given me much trouble, other than not liking a particular slot on one board or something (guess it was sharing with something busy). I think all the 424's are probably a bit better in that regard, with the G5 being the ideal version. It may not be a problem for a while, and then even that one may not help. FWIW- Mine has been on two AthlonXP boards (an ECS K7S5A, and an ASUS A7N8X-E).
Take Care,
George

thedude400,
Don't worry about it. It wasn't actually meant to sound that way.
What I meant was that mine has been fine here and it's one from the first run. I really don't think the whole 424 line did all that bad with most PC boards. It might be more of a problem if you're trying to use a G5.
When the G5 ver. came out, they told me that it was for G5 compatibility, but that it was also a bit more compatible with some PC boards. I could NOT get any better details from them than that. I had not seen reports of any major incompatibility on the PC side, and I personally wasn't affected by it, so I chose not to pay the 79 dollar upgrade for missing the free upgrade offer by a month or whatever. I don't know if the $79 offer is still good or not, but if there's any chance that you should have any trouble, you can probably just switch to a cheap board that works.
Good Luck!
George
PS- If you should happen to get any sort of noise or weird behavior, make sure you try a few different slots to avoid sharing with the wrong stuff. That sort of crap can be a problem even for more friendly soundcards.

I could maybe give it a try, but it would need a bunch more details:
* Motherboard model and chipset. (guessing it's not one of those listed ones)
* What relation the MTP actually has to the audio you're trying to do, and what it does with that disconnected.
* The program you're trying to run. (with the number of enabled ins and outs, as well as the clock source(s) you've tried to use, and the selected ASIO/WDM driver in the program)
* Any buffer or audio-related preference settings from your audio program, and from the MOTU config console.
* Any of the XP control panel's "sounds and audio devices" preference settings related to the 324.
I'm actually running the 424 on an AthlonXP, so I can't promise anything, but there are others here who may be able to suggest some stuff too.
Hope you can get it worked out.
