I also have a Layla, use it via ADAT for 8 more I/O's
channel 1-2 are secondary monitors / aux for headphone mixes and have my surround outputs on Layla out's 3-8.
I also run a Liquidmix
I had oodles of issues initially , running on Vista 64 probably was'nt the smartest move. First thing I did was get a dedicated VIA firewirecard
( can't have both liquidmix and R16 on same firewire bus ).
I was still having problems with spontaneous drop-outs.
That's when I discovered my console was one with the missing firewire
grounding resistor issues, So Mike gave me instructions on how to do the solder blob fix, which I did, I also updated the firmware / drivers around the same time, one or the other fixed my issues.
Another thing I did that helped was disable the R16 as a windows system soundcard ( I use the Layla to listen to i-tunes etc.).
I was having issues with the R16 not being able to reset clock , was telling me another program was locking my DAW software out.
I currently run the R16 in safe mode 1 @ 512 buffer, was still having clicks and pops in normal mode, it runs stable now so I have'nt researched it any further. I suppose when the new drivers come out I'll see if I can get the buffer's down.
I still have issues in soundforge, when ever I open a 2-track with a different samplerate to a previous 2 track , I have to hit play / stop / play before it
reclocks.
I'm still running beta 64 bit drivers so I'm waiting for new drivers before I get into anymore screwing around/ time wasting trying to get faster performance, stability is more important to me.I've found work arounds for most of my issues but I think the drivers still have a ways to go hopefully these issues have been addressed.
Hope this helps

Hey krafty, thanks for that
When I posted my query I ended up finding out what the problem was (system specific) and then I subsequently edited the post and removed the questions. Well you have just gone and answered them, must have been while I was editing haha. But I am still experiencing a bit of glitchy behaviour now and then which I can live with as long as A+H work on the drivers. At this point I still cant tell if firing back 16 channels to the consile and then returning them on sperate audio tracks is to much for the console/drivers. It shouldnt be.
I totally agree the drivers have a bit to go. Their a little 1999.
I also want to be able to change buffer settings with the software running. I havent seen any audio interface driver that requires the user to shut down their daw before changing the buffer settings in a long time. Maybe even as far back as 2003.
COME ON A+H HOW ABOUT THAT ONE..
