Hello guys, my name is giovanni and this is my first time posting in here.
I just get a Dell XPS M170, 2gb RAM, 2.26mhz, 80gb 7200rpm.
I'm a music producer and i get this laptop to use as a movil studio and work station.
The computer is very fast and i'm happy with it, the big problem is that my M-Audio Firewire Audiophile is not working right with it. I'm using a Firewire-IEEE 1394 cable to conect the computer and the sound card. (this is the cable provided by M-AUDIO). The latency is horrible and the pops and noises are really annoying.
I did install the lastest drivers and the problem is still there.
Sometimes the sound card just stop playing sounds and the software crash. I use Reason 3-ABLETON live 5 -a bunch of vst synthesizers and plug-ins.
Is there any way to fix this? do i need to buy another sound card? do i need to buy a firewire pc card?
if you have any idea about this please let me know. i'm a little bit frustrated since the sound card works perfect with my G4 powerbook and my desktop PC. I just invest 2500 in this computer and i cant believe that dell xps m170 doenst work with my sound card.
i really need your help
thanks a lot for your time.
