Hi...if i use my soundcard, everything works fine except for the latency, so i got an mbox to take care of the latency, but now the time cursor won't move, but it plays audio...any ideas?

There is a known bug in the Digi ASIO drivers. At one point Digi had released a beta to fix the problem, but it was pulled and never released.

There are no workarounds that we are aware of.

is there an external soundcard you can recommend that will not post these issues and/or hopefully any other issues?

I've had good luck with M-Audio which in a strange twist of fate was bought by Avid, the same people who bought ProTools MBox!

I have an M-Audio Firewire-410 that works fine with ACID. The new ProFire-610 is the replacement which should work equally as well.

Switch to Studio 1V2"64"bit like I did.Acid is getting out of the recording end of it.They wont tell ya but their going on 4 years of silence does.No company behaves like that.So far not one crash, when Acid crashes were part of the daily proses.Studio 1 rocks.Acid had some good though.But like any thing else you gotta maintain it,and Sony didn't and got left in the dust.And there are more tutorials on studio 1 then on anything else.But if your used to Acid and it works fine and your happy with 32 bit, then rock on.My computer flys on 64 bit DAW.I hope Sony comes out with a 64 bit but as for me Ive moved on.And the learning curve isn't as bad as I thought.I also liked the Sony support people,but oh well.
