Firestudio Project/Sonar 6 PROBLEMS PLEASE HELP

You need to change disable that realtec sound chip and then you need to start Sonar with the firestudio connected and on.

Make sure you go to presomus.com and download their latest drivers for it!!
Then follow this:
Click Options | Audio | Advanced.  Set your Driver Mode to ASIO.  If you do not see Driver Mode, make sure the box next to “Always use mme interface” is NOT checked.  Click OK and restart the program. 
Next, Click Options | Audio:
On the Drivers tab:
Make sure your Presonus card is selected under both inputs and outputs.  If it appears grayed out, deselect all drivers, in both inputs and outputs, then select your Presonus card.  If changes are made, click OK and restart the program. 

NOTE: Presonus also provides very reliable WDM drivers. If you experience problems in ASIO Driver Mode, you may want to consider using WDM as an alternative.
On the general tab:
Make sure one of your Presonus card drivers is selected as Playback Timing master.  Click OK.  Restart the program if prompted. 

Finally, all audio playback will occur from the Presonus device itself.  Make sure you have your speakers or headphones connected to its outputs.

It's the Firewire chipset on your motherboard, I had similar probelms with my laptop.  I gave up lets just say I don't believe Firewire is the way to go for audio interfaces.  A lot of problems, they seam to only work with a few Firewire Chipsets.  I even had trouble running Texas Instrument express card and Firestudio Project. 

What I think we have here is Presonus bringing out some of the finest converters and preamps on the market were talking 114db dynamic range on the convertors and some of the ****tiest drivers and or Firewire chipsets.

Hunt your way through this forum and the internet and you will find a similar problem.  Read the back of the manual and it will tell you it only accepts certain Firewire chipsets.

Cj,

You're the man!  Thanks a ton for the help, AGAIN.  The firestudio wasn't syncing today for some reason, so i took out his Dynex (found out it's a firewire 800 card) and put my Pyro 1394a in the pci slot.  The Firestudio synced up, made the changes in Audio, and now we're golden.  Does anyone know if they still make the Pyro 1394a PCI card for laptop slots?  I only can find the the desktop looking slots, and ADS doesn't have any pictures on their website XD.  I'm just trying to get this guy up and running.
