Hi Altima...,
I don't know where to download them from. Actually, the io26 drivers are exactly the same and Alesis posts the old drivers for that. Trying email.

Greg,
If you want Vista to see your Alesis, you will need to enable system sounds in the Alesis control panel. Also see this post.

We will welcome your questions, solutions, tips and tricks if any, we are just trying to keep a place going for exchange of ideas, and we are in close contact with Alesis Technical support staff both in USA and UK, in fact Rob Griffith are actually monitoring the forum.

Cheers

In device manager its called a "AGERE" I wonder if thats the problem? The alesis site names "adaptec" and some other one for compatible ones.

I just bought this one through Newegg cheap: Rosewill 2+1 PCI to 1394a
It uses a VIA chipset. I also have an Emachine that has FW builtin to the motherboard and it used a VIA chipset that's worked flawlessly under WinXP.

I have multimix16firewire alesis but i have some problem,please help me.
I had just bought new pc use Winxp sp2 with

Updated by Alesis 03/17/2008 form web.I setup to my Pc it have some problem,I click

nguyenelcom: sorry. Quite a lot of people have this problem. Alesis ignores it and nobody outside Alesis can debug and fix it. I emailed their tech support, but got no answer - very professional. I'll never buy anything from them again.

I have a Multimix 16 and I have trouble with my signal for my onboard effects. I've read the manual several times and was wondering if anyone's heard of any glitches or similar problems.

hey man just reading a message you left about your multimix firewire 16, i got one today and im having problems just wondering if you are getting on alright with it now and if so what did you have to do to fix it or get it to operate properly...

My Multimix Firewire issues,

Sony Vaio FR285M, SB audigy PCMCIA

I've been trying for a while now to configure my software to run the wdm output to MM. I had great problems at first with drivers March 2008 and Origonal disc, they would install but wouldn't configure and I only had a few sec of audio after switching on. Firmware update or control wouldn't comunicate "Waiting for device".

This sound normal from reading forum.

But then I remembered I had download drivers for a friend a few years ago. I installed and found that the firmware version was 1.2 (Seems you can't upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0 directly) anyway installed upgraded to Firmware 1.3 then to 1.4.

Great I thought, all was looking good, so continued the upgrading to the latest firmware and drivers, wished I read this forum first.

New drivers and firmware work for a little bit longer and now have configuration on control. messed around with settings, lots of shutdowns and restarts to reconfigure, but after a few days and reading the forum gave up. I now in the process of trying older drivers.

I only have 3 Driver versions available (why don't alesis post older drivers) and I have good results with Version 6/23/2005. Audio is reasonable for my purpose but I can't get the control panel to function, so I can't setup latency etc.

Anyway I'm leaving things as they are for now unless anyone has Jan 2008 drivers or any other versions available.

Or does anyone now how to take the firmware back from v2.0 to 1.4

It's because of all the driver issues with the firewire version, that I bought the USB2 8 channel version. No problems.

Hey there everyone,

Like some of you, I'm getting inconsistent pops/clicks in my recordings and playback, and I'm getting random BSOD with different error messages.
I've contacted alesis about obtaining previous drivers but haven't gotten a response.
Would someone by kind enough to send me a driver (any driver) released before the most recent March of 2008? I would be eternally grateful.

I'm pretty much stuck with this unit, so I have to make due with what I can. Thanks!
