Hello all,
I am running 7.0LE with a 002r. I am also using an RME Hammerfall with Nuendo. The RME has its own PCI firewire type card seperate from the firewire card that the 002r is connected to. I have done all the "tweaks" I could find on the digi site in terms of making sure "cool n quiet" is off, HDs are set to DMA etc. etc. etc. And as far as I can tell all my hardware meets the digi standards except for my firewire card (I have ordered a siig and am waiting for it to arrive). The problem I am having is I'll be in the middle of working and I get an error saying "buffer underrun try increasing buffer", which I do only to be insulted by "buffer overrun..." omg!! the digi drivers are like montey python!! i'm going nuts. I have seen this same post by other users and it seems like an epidemic. I read the posts carefully and try all the suggestions, I realize I need to get the SIIG firewire card but another guy posted that even after he got this card he STILL had the same issue so I aint holding my breath. Does anyone have anything fresh to add to this problem? I would really appreciate it. Here is my sandra info:
