Sir Les
Thanks again Billy for that info you are posting...it will surely help me and others looking into this TB setup in future....
 
wireless MOUSE AND KEYBOARD?...HMMM...IS THAT NOT WI FI Connected?
 
Any hoot I have read about the bios 1802 just before doing this....it says something about upgrading the bios update, if one is using the 4th gen intel processor....I am using the same 3.50mhz you are, which is 3rd gen.
 
So do I do the updater update to update to 1802? or not to do that?...does it make a difference?
 
Just questions rolling around my head....so I do not screw it up....before I do!...lol ( I believe I should not) but I am always thinking to ask the techs first.
 
So Bill seeing as You have what I have in MB solution , and have updated your bios....what did you do in terms of the updater?

The MS Keyboard/mouse combo uses it's own usb receiver (plugged into USB 2.0 port) to transmit wirelessly to
keyboard/mouse.....no separate wifi involved. Just like my Frontier Designs DAW Controller uses it's own
USB transmitter.

FAIK, the i4770k is a 4th generation processor. I simply followed the guidelines on ASUS website for executing the BIOS update.  Only took a couple minutes and it was done. You do need to download and install the 4th generation processor BIOS utility and follow the guidelines for updating.
 
Cheers,

Oh...the new forth gen is suppose to be 4.mhz?...I got 3.50mhz....so what are they talking about?...new heat solutions fo rthis new processor? and such for this new intel based 4th gen 4mhz processor and this new updater?
 
I do not want to get this wrong...and screw up a perfectly good system, so forgive my apprehension and confusion ...before the swing to light speed.....I no longer have the box for my cpu, so I am assuming it is 3rd gen?...I forgot that detail...when I find out, I will put it in my descript...So I do not forget in future.

Yep it is 4th gen 3.50mhz....So what do I do?

Ok I think I will do the updater update, and then do the bios...as I have a 4th gen processor....like you mention, but I did not read until now........and then install the new TB driver, and then setup the A & L zed....and get back to you all if resolved or not.
 
Thanks Billy Buck...for the info....I always thought wi fi was used for wireless devices, and internet wireless, so I never entered that domain.

Ok, I shut down,unplugged the firewire adapter, then rebooted, I used the updater in win 7 to install the bios 1802 ver update....as the flash back did not work.
went fine...reboot necessary .. rebooted into windows, I then ran the TB driver...went fine,..shutdown, connected the firewire adapter, turned on the r16 desk...booted, and all was found (asked if I want to allow this device to be used, I selected "always allow" in the drop down, and installed driver for the A & L r16 proceeded....new device found...new device installed and working properly!.
 
I opened a project that usually causes the issue in Sonar....And no Problemo!....so far..
 
One issue did get found with USB...firmware update  needed to be installed...once I updated the Bios....as this showed up in the device manager as not working properly.
 
Thanks Billy Buck!
 
So I will leave this Post open for a bit....before I put solved in the field....incase more input on TB bios setup is brought forth, or I find more issues...Just to make sure....So stay tuned in....lol.
 
Again thanks all...and have a Cheer on me!...oh p.s..I am on the internet, and using sonar (minimized) still no problemo...and have the DCP running in the A & L applet....seems ok so far..........That was never possible ever on older builds using firewire and this audio desk.,...until now...So something is fixed somewhere right?
