On the new machine (below) It worked better in earlier versions of Windows 10. (Same firewire card used in both machines)
Current setup
Motherboard: Z690 Asrock Taichi
CPU: Intel i5-12600k
Ram: Kingston DDR5 - 32gigs
OS:Windows 10 PRO - Build 19045
Firewire card: 2 port card :Texas Instruments chipset
Interface 1: Antelope Audio Zen Studio - (Works perfectly)
Interface 2:RME Digiface USB - (Works Perfectly)
Interface 3: Yamaha N8 - ( 3 of them) - (Used to work good until updating windows 10)
DAW's: Cubase 12/ Studio One 6.
I've tried different firewire drivers as well to no avail...
How it works and has been working lately is that I can play audio for about 30seconds or so and then, endless dropouts after that.. Doesn't matter what I change, it happens everytime...
Latency Mon shows everything in the 'Green' just like it did before the updates in windows 10.. So i'm stumped as to what to try next..
Have you tried adjusting the buffer in the FW Driver Utility?
I had trouble with my N8 originally, and was advised to change the buffer to medium by Yamaha.
When I installed on my new W11 PC, I initially forgot this, and was getting drop outs no matter what size ASIO buffer I used.
Now working fine. I'm on driver 1.6.4 and firmware 1.07.
Hope that helps.
