Good info here guys.

I need help on my Firewire 410 and I'll try the things u suggested here tonight. Meanwhile, here's my issue:

Specs:
iBook G4 1Ghz proc. 256mb RAM
Firewire 410.
Software: I have Delta Live Bundle and been using GarageBand while trying to figure out if I should buy Logic or Cubase?

Use:
Mainly to record 2 vocals simultaneously while listening to instrumental track. Will need both mic inputs and both headphone jacks to monitor while recording.

Problems:
I got the FW410 2 nights ago. At that time I only used a mic input and plugged my headphones directly into the ibook. It worked great!!!

Last night, I decided to test the headphone jacks on the FW and when I fired it up I heard this screeaching noise coming from the ibook's built in speakers, despite having set the output to the FW in the Sound Prefs. The FW mixer was already open too! The sound didn't go away until I plugged headphone directly into the ibook.

I was low on power so I'll see if that changes the situation tonight.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance for any help...appreciate it.
