Problem with M-Audio Fast Track Pro driver

[antoniofr]

Hello!


I am having problems with M-Audio Fast Track Pro ASIO driver and Cubase 12 in Windows 10. I am having error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE on shutdown or rebooting. Error does not occur everytime, only sometimes, but always on rebooting or shutting down and always after using Cubase 12. Screens turn off but computer remains on, and after some minutes, it reboots or shut down with the error and a dump file is generated. If you analyze dump file, the error is:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9F)
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for MAudioFastTrackPro.sys

You can download dump file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xW6...usp=share_link


I have used this sound card for many years with Cubase 5 and I have no problems until now, when I am using Cubase 12. I have not changed nothing in my system, except Cubase.

Can you help me please?


Thank you!

Opinions vary, so here is mine: Look at this as an excuse to upgrade your interface. The FT Pro is hardly "pro" and M-Audio's biggest drawback was/is their drivers. Even the cheapest Focusrite USB boxes are going to sound better, and their drivers are much better.

[Darryl Ramm]

It is a dead interface, it has not been supported for years. It's shuffled off its mortal coil. It's freakin snuffed it. And how badly it's nailed to it's perch is described here...

https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...ck-Pro-Drivers

The real question is how far can you throw that awful M-Audio box. Please post a video online of your throw.

There are many manufacturers of nice audio interface, with a very wide range of features/capabilities and price. Focusrite as Dave mentioned is a frequent default recommendation on DUC, especially the 2i2 as a beginner interface.

There are really nice products available from (in no particular order) UAD, Motu, Apogee, Focusrite, RME, Presonus, and others (but some I did not mention I'd avoid.. especially because of poor driver quality, poor customer support, or poor long term product engineering/driver support). And you are seeing here the result of poor long-term support from Avid/M-Audio for consumer products.

Personally I prefer RME, for their tremendous driver quality and long term support, but you pay significantly more for that.

Have a look around online resellers like Thomann or Sweetwater at the wide range of interfaces that are available, if you have questions or can list the features you are after and your budget folks here can help with suggestions for specific products.

Its pinin' for the fjords
