Unplugging Fast Track Solo Crashes with Blue Screen Win 10
So for the entire time I have had this interface (2-3 years now), I've had compatibility issues with pro tools express causing random blasting white noise in my ears at max volume, and it's also always had issues with drivers. I used to run it on a laptop with windows 8 but now am on a desktop PC, because of these previous issues I don't use pro tools anymore and haven't really tried on this PC. Instead I use it when playing guitar to allow me to play along with music and use guitar pro and hear the audio from my amp and PC together.
Now for a while it was doing ok, but whenever I unplug the interface in recent times it seems to crash more often than not with the message: UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP. I close the audio program before I unplug it and there is no "eject safely" option either, so my assumption would be that the fast track is still doing stuff with my RAM, but honestly I have no idea what's causing this. If I could get some explanation or help that would be great. I couldn't find how to download Sandra Lite due to it being a mess of a website. Last edited by GuitarHawk99; 12-05-2017 at 06:12 PM. |

Re: Unplugging Fast Track Solo Crashes with Blue Screen Win 10
Some things to consider:
1-don't disconnect any hardware without ejecting it first(this goes for an interface, USB memory sticks, external hard drives, etc) 2-don't disconnect the interface with things powered up(shut down before you pull the USB from the FT) 3-why are you disconnecting?(you don't really need to answer this one, but do you REALLY need to keep unplugging? 4-Not what you want to hear but M-Audio interfaces just aren't very good(my 2 cents) so have you considered a better interface?(some other brands do much better drivers for their hardware) 5-is your desktop running Windows 8? If so, I would move to Windows 10 if(and ONLY IF) your version of Pro Tools is compatible with Win10

I have no option to eject it from the taskbar. I disconnect it because I only use it for music purposes, not for other tasks on my PC (youtube/gaming).
Yeah I'm not really a fan of avid products in general, but this is what I have so don't have much choice. Also I am on win 10. |

Well, M-Audio is not Avid anymore(part of why their drivers now are not so good). Since you should have Windows sound properties set so Windows doesn't use the FT, I would simply leave it connected all the time(I don't see any reason to disconnect it unless its a laptop that moves around the house).

True, however Avid retained the Fast Track series devices, so driver updates still fall to Avid.
