Why did you choose the M4 over a Steinberg interface? Just curious.
Because I use Cakewalk as well.

I did some looking around at the M4, a couple of the Steinberg interfaces, and RME. They all seem great for my current needsā¦
Thank you all for the input, advice, guidance.
Worth a try - Iāll let you knowā¦ Thanks.
I checked the settings, and searched for āTroubleshootingā but nothing came up for āchange how Windows starts upā

OK. Thanks.
Update: I reverted to the original factory reset with Windows 10 so I am going to this and all the other suggestions again, but in Win 10 to rule out the issue with Windows 11. If it doesnāt work then Iāll know it wasnāt just a Win 11 issue.
Hi,
Iāve done some preliminary testing and it all seems to be working properly in Windows 10 on the new Lenovo PC. At first, I was skeptical because when I clicked the āTestā button i n the Windows 10 System Audio settings the tone played but was distorted and glitchy like before but when I played music on youtube and my media player, the audio is crystal clear. I guess Iāll keep it in Windows 10 and skip the Win 11 upgrade.
In the Echo Control Panel, I have the buffer currently set to 320 samples/ 6.7 msec. Iām afraid to move it in case it causes issue but will if you all think I should
Also, will I run into problems eventually if I do not upgrade to Win 11?
Thanks for readingā¦
I started with the instructions on the links from MrSoundman and a
Win 10 will be supported for many years, and win 11 is only a preview, not finished.
Also win 11 is very demanding of the hardware and your computer does need to be relatively new (younger then 3 years if I remember correctly, to meet the security demands). So I think win 10 will be around for quit a while, at least oct. 2025, but it will still work after that of course.
Firewire PFN List Corrupt solved: Reduce Firewire buffer size.
The ECHO AudioFire12 will not be the problem. I just updated my system from Windows10 to 11 and my ECHO AudioFire12 interfaces (got 2 daisy-chained) both work perfectly, just like on Windows10. Got a FW400 card in my PC with Ti (TexasInstruments) chipset. That one is important!
Personally I am very happy that my interfaces still work under Windows11 with their old Windows8 ASIO drivers.
Interesting ā¦ and great news!
Did you do an āupgrade in placeā of the existing Windows 10?
If so, did you already have the legacy Firewire drivers on Windows 10?
Just curious, as it may be that the legacy drivers were integrated into Windows 11 as part of the upgrade process. Iām not aware of any technical reason preventing Firewire drivers from working in Windows 11, other than Microsoftās lack of support for them.
Hello Mr Soundman,
I did an āupgrade in placeā.
I do not know which FW drivers I used. I suppose those, delivered with the FW breakout card which I had installed in the PC when I had it assembled. It is a FW breakout interface with Texas Instruments chipset. Also works perfectly on Windows 11. Canāt you check for FW drivers coming with your hardware?
I didnt have a problem with Windows 11 and adding KALEA-INFORMATIQUE PCI Express this has the Texas Chip. (A must) From Amazon.
Using the Windows 11 driver (you have to allow Windows to install the driver for the PCIe firewire card)
I downloaded the old Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 drivers from Cubase and my Saffire Pro worked 1st time.
Make sure you have the most recent version of Windows 11
To reiterate my post from three years ago:
ā¦ and may or may not work in Windows 11. I wonāt be testing it as I no longer need it.
