Hi. I've read through some threads concerning various FW & USB driver issues with Vista 64. It seems like the concensus is that the drivers are not well written and intolerant of other audio or bus timing things that may happen. My situation is a brand new Vista64 install on hardware (fw 828mkII, driver v3.6.8.1329) that previously ran XP sp2 with the interface flawlessly for a couple of years. I get a static burst on all channels at seemingly random times. Also, when I switch buffers in the Audio Console Applet to 2048, other audio applications like media player and SONAR PE 7 stutter on playback. Sometimes when I switch buffers to any value other than 512, audio programs stutter.
My questions are:
Would installing older drivers help?
How can I download older drivers?
Is there any information that defines what is going on that causes this static burst?
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!
That doesn't look applicable to my system:
A8N SLI Deluve (nForce4)
AMD64 X2 4400+
2GB OCZ RAM
2x nVidia GT8500 SLI enabled (I realized after my purchase how crappy these are)
828mkII firewire (TI chipset on mobo)
Vista Ultimate 64 sp1
Depending on how you look at things, I am lucky right now that I live in a place where recording is impossible because of hollow ceilings and heavy footfalls upstairs. So this problem is a nusance but not debilitating.
