Default Re: Ableton \"Failed to open the ASIO device ASIO Digidesign

Yeah, the M1530 is quite a nice toy and I got it refurbished from Dell with a 200GB 7200RPM drive for about $1500 less than an equivalent MacBook Pro. Now, the only trick will be to make it work. I've successfully loaded the PT 7.4 (with Vista) and the MBox 2 Pro. Only problem is that when I go to play a track from a previous session, the cursor moves, but only occassionally will play audibly with sound. Haven't tried recording yet as I think this issue needs to be resolved immediately. Restored the entire machine from disk image to factory shipped disk (another great feature) and reloaded the PT a number of times. I was on the phone with Digi yesterday and they think it might be the 4 pin Firewire jack. I'm not so sure as it's definitely compliant with their preferred chips. Turning wi-fi on or off doesn't seem to matter as neither does the performance based tweaks in their trouble shooting list.

Hope you get yours going. If you can think of any tricks, please pass them along!

P.S. I have a crimson red one, very cute machine! Don't have Ableton.
