That may be all well and good (if a little non-standard IMO). The Behringer unit may have a feature that tries to automatically drive your OS audio control panel app.

My previous question though: What happens when you try to force the issue and drive the MOTU from your OS audio control panel? Based on what I'm hearing so far, I would expect changing to a pci firewire card to have no effect. If that control panel pops up when you connect the MOTU and the unit has its tab in the window, then it's connected and talking. I can tell you that if you try to exceed the bandwidth of the data connection for the MOTU, you get a warning in the MOTU control panel window telling you so and to use fewer channels or a lower sample rate. The sound quality compared to MOTU is.shit. I just plugged my UMC from behringer that i normally have with me for live gigs and the driver is rock solid, i set it to 96 and everything on windows just goes 96K. What happens when you try to force the issue and drive it from the OS audio control panel? Also, what style of control are you using in Reaper? The Reaper control panel? (boxes next to sample rate and block size ticked and values entered) Or your OS control panel? (boxes unticked in Reaper to release control to another app) If it's the former - disconnected but still available to select. if it was the last selected audio interface for the OS, it should come up still selected from that saved preference.īy 'disconnect', do you mean that when previously selected for system audio - after a reboot or interface power cycle, the device is there but not selected? Or do you mean the interface disappears as a connected audio interface altogether? The MOTU shows up as a connected audio interface in your OS audio control panel app.Īt this point, you could select the MOTU as an input and/or output device in the OS control panel. When you connect the MOTU, the MOTU control panel opens by default. That's a clue that there is a conflict between the MOTU control panel and the OS audio. If i open the MOTU control panel, the device is automatically 'disconected' from windows, is like its waiting for the settings change so it loads back again the MOTU.
