Hello,
I just emailed rme tech support, but while I'm waiting for a response I thought I'd try posting here.
I just bought a new laptop and I'm having problems with my fireface800 (I think I've narrowed it down to a hardware issue) even at very high buffer sizes. Dropouts and glitches are occurring I believe only when monitoring and playing back through the software. Direct monitoring off the fireface is unaffected and the glitches don't seem to be imprinted on the recorded files. every time one of these glitches occur the fireface settings dialog shows another error. After reading some of RME's tech info online, it seems this means it is a pci bus conflict:

Here are the specs:
Dell Latitude D400
Pentium M
XP pro service pack 2
processor 1700hz
594mhz, 1gig of ram
Problem is occurring with both Sonar 6 and Adobe Audition 1.5.
I have updated the RME Drivers, Windows, and Sonar.
I have performed a number of system tweaks to optimize XP for audio.
I seemed to have momentary stability both when I Changed my graphics resolution down to 16bit and when I disabled the graphics driver completely, but the problem soon returned. My firewire bus shares the same irq with my graphics controller and several other devices.
Please help!!! This is very frustrating.
Thanks.
