Question. Do you have your HD24 lightpiped to the 3 banks of the MOTU?

I have 3 outputs of the HD24 lightpiped to the inputs of the motu as I always do. I did have 3 lightpipes from Motu out to HD in when I was playing with the analog outboard gear. I have since removed those and still same. I even went back to older version of Media player as I just updated it to media player 11, no change. The only thing that plays normal is Sonar. Very odd.

That's odd. It seems to me there's clock problem. Were you 44.1 or 48k? Obviously you would set the control panel to clock to the incoming lightpipe normally but if it's misbehaving, it's not seeing the clock. I'd check to see what the HD sampling rate is set at and confirm the MOTU is set the same. As an experiment try setting the MOTU clock to internal to see if Media Player works. Failing all that I'd pull the MOTU PCI card, unistall the MOTU software and re-install it, THEN put the PCI card back in, in that order

Trackrat, here is a note from Motu site that sounds like my problem but I just cant remember how to get to applications! Yes, Im a bonehead! Where the hell do I find applications!

"When I use my interface in OS X for Quicktime, Windows Media Player, or Real Player, I hear digital noiseGoto /Applications/Utilities and launch, Audio MIDI Setup. If you are using 10.3.X, click on Configure Speakers. Check to make sure you are using a 2 channel stereo stream, such as Stream 1, Main Outs for the 828mkII and 896HD. If you are in 10.2.X or below, make sure you are outputting out of a stereo stream, such as Main Out or S/PDIF.
