Problem with Platinum and audio interface

I have recently upgraded to a new (OK, used) PC and upgraded from Sonar 4 to Platinum. After going through a bit of trouble with drivers and my old interface (MOTU 2408mk3), I now am beginning to suspect that it still may not work with platinum. If this is correct, I am obviously going to need a new interface.
Any suggestions on the old MOTU or is there a list of interfaces that are known to be compatible with Platinum?
( New PC is an i7 with 8gb memory)
Thanks.

    for your interface it's all about the drivers, so make sure you're using the recommended motu asio driver for your os (win10?)

    I have the the same interface...no issues whatsoever...I'm on Win 7, though, so I can't speak to Win 10...I'm just waiting for OSX so I can finally dump Microsoft!

    Thanks for the responses. Forgot to mention "Win 7". Drivers are the latest from MOTU. I suspect it is operator error on my part, or just ignorance.
    After some re-evaluation of my plans I have decided to leave the MOTU with my older PC in a rehearsal studio where I actually need the I/O capacity and just buy a new, smaller interface for my new PC. Any suggestions on a 4in/2- or 4-out model that is compatible with Platinum?
    I'm sure I will be back with more questions, as I will be doing things I have not done in the past, particularly using virtual instruments.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi. Tascam, Focusrite, Presonus, RME and Motu all makes good interfaces with the specs you are after.
    I can vouch for the quality of RME, but they are a bit more expensive. 
    It would come down to your budget.
    All the best.

    There are thousand of threads,, mostly under "hardware" about interfaces.
