Remove unrelated software and drivers
The presence of drivers for other FireWire devices and other audio
devices, even though they are not actively connected, may be a
cause of system trouble. Consider stripping down your computer to
be solely music-oriented. A Computer that has seen many
generations of audio interface may need to have its OS cleanly
reinstalled to work reliably.
Optimize for speed to reduce audio problems
TASCAM recommends optimizing your OS installation for best
possible audio application performance. Websites such as
