i have been having problems with acid 4 for the last 2 weeks
(excessive freezing , with high picthed noises that kill my hears, random crashes and just plain crap)
i formatted my computer twice finally i decided to try XP again thinking it may do something
well now i am thinking it has to do with my MIA
i was able to ctrl alt del
out of one of the freezes in acid
and it said my MIA control panel was not responding
i have the most recent drivers
i am guessing this has been the problem ever since two weeks ago
does anyone else have a MIA and have succesful operating of acid 4???
cause im stuck here
any help would be appreciated
peace

Hello Jason,

Can you give some more details about your system? Also, are you trying to use the Mia's ASIO or WDM drivers?

im using the WDM drivers
becuase that is all XP would let me choose...
before though i was using the ASIO drivers in win 98se
(or the other driver set besides wdm in the setup that one can chose from)
the same thing is happening so its obvious it isnt the drivers
installed....
there must be a conflict with acid 4 and MIA
my system
amd 1gig T-bird
512 ram
radeon 8500
echo MIA
Maudiophile 25/96
etc etc...

thanks

I have the Mia with an AMD 700Mhz Duron, 512mb ram, and 32mb ATI.

It was running fine, until I noticed it was bleeding tracks into my recorded guitar stuff.

When I got that fixed it worked fine for 5 takes. Then it crashed harder than a fat chick belly-flopping into a pool with no water.

I'm hesitant to buy it now. At least until 4.0a comes out. I can't run any other audio app, such as Sound Forge(!), Cubasis VST, or even Windows Media player with Acid running.

It's severly pissing me off!!! I'm thinking of just buying 3.0 and forgetting trying to track straight into Acid. I'll just use Cubasis for that.

Can you use the Audiophile 2496 with ACID Pro 4.0? (Use WDM or get the beta drivers over at M-Audio if you want to use ASIO.)

You might want to check out this little blurb for AMD users at Echo's Web site.

Per usual, I always suggest to users to either reduce their video accleration a bit or turn it off altogether, as problematic video drivers cause a lot of problems for users. Might want to also head over to ATI's Web site and pick up their latest drivers for the Radeon, which were released last Thursday.

HTH,
Iacobus

I have a KT133a chipset, and have all updated drivers. It's not my system, because every other audio app ran absolutely fine. It's 4.0. Until they fix it with a, I'm no longer interested.
