Hey everyone I just joined this forum and I'm having some technical difficulties with the 1800. I'll briefly explain what i'm experiencing. Just recently the US-1800 has frequently been dropping out or hiccuping sporadically for the duration of 1-3 seconds when playing back only 4 tracks of audio. I use a Dell Inspiron laptop with Win 7 64-bit, 1st Gen Intel i5 460m @ 2.53 Ghz, 6gb of ram, 500gb hard drive, and I use Cubase LE5. When I use Cubase I disable my wifi adapters, firewall/antivirus, and unneeded graphics. I called Tascam support yesterday and talked to a tech who right off the bat told me my computer(Dells) are not very good. Then he said I could try updating Cubase and using an external, powered usb hub to connect the Tascam. I tried all of this today with still no luck. I've also monitored my computer with the DPC latency checker and have concluded that it is not a latency problem because when the audio drops out there is no rise in latency. I'm guessing that there may be a problem with the unit itself or just not compatible with my cpu. What do you think? I would really appreciate your input. Thanks
p.s. This problem also persists when playing mp3's on windows media player but to a lesser extent
