Motu 828 Mk2 & High-pitched Noise, problems... Options

[bubba]

I have a motu 828 mk2 and have had major problems with it.

I get this high-pitched noise every so often, and when the sound comes back in it's all grainy and distorted.

I have tried it on a powerbook g4, windows xp PC, Dell laptop...with pretty much the same results on all of them.

Motu gave me another unit, as they found a different problem with it...but, I STILL have the same problem.

Anyone any Ideas I've had this problem for over 2 years now, and I'm ready to chuck it in the garbage.

MOTU technical support have been absolutly useless....

Thanks for the reply, I've tried the reset thing on both 828mk2's I had- but with no luck...I'll try uninstalling quicktime, but I don't think it was installed on my new harddrive installation. As for it being a broken unit- if it is, this will be the second 828mk2 they've given me that doesn't work.

MOTU aren't interested in helping me out much here until I've reinstalled everything again, but this time not using ACPI so I can avoid IRQ sharing..even though I disabled whatever it was that was sharing with my firewire interface..oh- and I also have the problem on my Powerbook with nothing else connected to it!!

I wish they had just fixed my original 828 instead of charging me an extra £150 for this turkey...
