MOTU 828 24BIT

I have had good luck recording audio through my MOTU 828mkII into Sonar Producer 5 - but I am struggling to get it to allow 24 bit recording. I have tried replacing the firewire card (thinking it had something to do with the Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS) and have tried a Adaptec OHCI compatible firewire card. Still no luck.

When I go into Options/Audio, I can set the default to 48 kHz with no problem, but when I set it to 24 bit it tells me "The default audio format is not compatible with one or more soundcards. It has been reset to 44100 (16 bit) as suggested by the driver".

I have tried going in manually to the AUD.INI file setting the boolean to 1 for enabling 24 bit extensible. Still no luck.

Can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any advice?

    Welcome to the forum.

    We could do with a bit more information about your setup to help, but in the mean time heres some things to check.

    if you're using WIN XP SP2 -> have you applied the Microsoft patch for Firewire?
    Are you by some chance also running Adobe Premiere? If not , forget I asked.

    Have you got the latest drivers 3.6.6? If you have try rolling back to previous 3.5.?. If not update to the 3.6.6 drivers.

    Are you using ASIO or WDM/KS? Try the one you're not using and report back what happens.

    Make sure the MOTU is on when you start Sonar.

    And last but definitely not last. Does your Firewire card use the TI chipset? It is nearly mandatory that you use a TExas Instruments chipsset firewire adapter. To many probs with others.

    Give all that a try and let us know.


    All the best

    Try to re-profile (under the same options>audio window I think) your audio hardware after it launches & you get that error message. If you are getting a signal via Firewire at all, Sonar should find your MOTU and re-profile it & not force 16 bit. I sometimes get the same error message you are getting.. usually it's because I launched Sonar before I had the Motu powered & fully booted. Also, the MOTU has it's own set-up options you should look into (START>MOTU>MOTU FW AUDIO CONSOLE) if the re-profiling doesn't fix your issue.

    i had that problem with my Delta card....my soundcard had an option to "reset when idle" or something like that....the issue is with your soundcard and not sonar....
