M-Audio ProjectMix I/O - About to return unless.....

Someone helps me fix this problem:

I have:


-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
-ASUS P5b-E Motherboard
-Kingston 1GB DDR 800 Mhz
-WD Raptor 150GB 10,000 RPM
-Sonar 6/Cubase SX 3


Problem:

The ProjectMix does not allow me to record without pops and clicks.
Not on the machine I listed above.

Within the software control panel, it allows me to change the ASIO buffer size, ranging from 64 to 2048 values.
I have tried them all. The performance is constant, pops and clicks during playback.

-Sonar 6
The latency value is non-adjustable at an extremely high 46 ms

-Cubase Sx 3
The latency is 5ms but still records and plays back pops and clicks.


Finally.....
What does not make any since is that the thing works fine on my laptop which is a gateway 3522GZ with 512 MB DDR 533, and a Pentium M 1.6 GHz.


One thing I have noticed is that the maker of my laptop's OHCI compliant fireware device is Texas Instrument.

The maker of my dual core pc's firewire is VIA. On MAudio's website there is a list of compatible firewire adapters. Does anyone think that this may be causing the problem?

    Check your IRQ settings. This is more problematic with PCI cards, but we have seen multiple USB ports do the same thing. If the firewire is sharing an IRQ with another device (such as a video card), when they both attempt to use the port at the same time you can get a click or popping. It can also appear to be random. If your firewire port is a PCI card, moving it or the video card to a different slot may solve the problem.

    Good luck

    If you want to keep the ProjectMix, get a TI (Texas Instruments chipset) PCI FireWire Controller.

    That did it, thanks to you all it was definately the VIA chipset screwing with everything, TI fixed it.
