The sp3 issue is interesting as I thougth it was confined to firewire 800? Running the N12 on the vista computer should rule that out I would have thought? I don't fancy de-boxing the N12 now its ready to send. I hope in one way that it is faulty and the replacement solves the problem, I will have egg on my face otherwise although I think I have tried extremely hard to get it working. I will let you know how things work out. Bob |
Good news everyone! Replacement N12 has arrived.
Bad news is I still have the same audio dropouts as before. Yamaha support advised upgrading to latest drivers and tools, but this has if anything made matters worse. Yamaha are going to get the unit back to them and set it up with a working system to check if its the N12 or my computer. Here are my computer specs..... if anyone can spot any potential issues feel free to chip in.
