Hey,
I've had my FW-1884 for a few years now and my inputs 3-8 are giving me a funny ground noise. I hooked up my motif rack to if via the spdif and it sounds crystal clear but then I get some crackling type of noise after I let go of the keys on the keyboard. It's not a latency type crackle....but anyway, I had a $120 gift card from JR.com so I purchased an M-Audio audiophile 192. I figure i'll install it in my comp and use that for now since I can't afford to send my FW out for repair and not have a backup sound card. My stupid question is....will I be able to use the FW and the Audiophile at the same time? lets say i'm working on a Cubase project, am i going to be able to use the audio inputs from both cards at the same time? Also, once i install the Audiophile card, how do I best configure my comp to work best with both. I'm using a pc. Here are the specs. I configured from Sonica-x.com so I don't know exactly how to configure it myself for best performance other than how they sent it. THANKS!
