    Thanks for posting this. I was able to install the drivers in Vista and the board now seems to be working as a sound card. So far, it's only working well with ASIO drivers and not WDM (please post what driver set works for you).

    Unfortunately, I'm not getting any control surface action. I have the 1.22 beta drivers, but Vista won't let me run the file - it says it's dangerous! FW1884 is not presented as an option when I try to add a control surface in Sonar.

    EDIT: I am able to get the Mackie control emulation to work, but no native FW1884 is available.

    Hi,

    I've posted this question on another Post ("My New Sonar 7 and FW-1884"), but got no answer so far.
    If anyone could help....

    I have installed the 1.60 driver and can not get it to work properly under Vista 64.
    If used in ASIO, or with media player, i have a really bad sound quality (some kind of distorted sound).
    If used in WDM, then I have constant pops, not loud, but still constant.

    My FW 1884 works fine on Win XP x64 with the x64 drivers vers. 1.50.

    Any advice on what it could be ?

    My FW1884 runs with the latest firmware (v183).

    Something additional: I've seen that you're using the 1.22 soft for sonar. When I was about to install it, I've realized it clearly indicates 32 Bit (and not 64); That's why I have installed instead the Sonar x64 1.0 plugin.
    Is there any benefit with the 1.22 ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Wolverine, I have the same exact problem. I have tried a ton of different firewire cards with different chips and two different motherboards (ASUS P5B Deluxe and Asus P5K-E Wi-Fi). I tried it in 32-bit XP on the same system and using the same firewire port and the 1.60 driver and playback was perfect but in Vista 64 I'm getting that weird distortion/crackling.

    It is not just a Sonar problem as playback from any source is affected. You can even try just playing Media Player through one of your analog outs and hear it.

    I was able to solve my problem by turning off the "Memory Remap Feature" in the Chipset section of my ASUS P5K-E motherboard's BIOS. This effectively means I can not utilize more than 3.24gb of RAM under Vista 64, which is one of the main reasons I am using it. I'm not sure what the culprit is but I am leaning towards the FW-1884 driver... Low-latency playback is perfect now, though, and during my troubleshooting process I learned to tweak Vista pretty well and my DPC calls are averaging around 55μs. A new audio interface is on the way, and this time it is one with WaveRT drivers--the Echo Layla 3G.
