Hey, jplum.
While I do not have the ZED R16, I do have the similar Alesis Multimix16 Firewire, and I am experiencing the exact message and problems quoted above. I've tested the mixer, firewire cable, sound card(which houses the firewire port that I plug my mixer into) and all seem to be working fine otherwise. I noticed you mentioned that you solved the problem by downgrading your SATA raid controller, but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. Is this just a matter of downloading a different set of drivers or did you actually have a tangible RAID controller that you had to change out? I believe my RAID controller is built into my motherboard so if it's the latter I may be screwed already. Also, upon reading your post, I tried to enter my RAID utility at the opening screen of my comp to see if i could get some info... only to get a message that says RAID utility disabled... I'm not sure if this is related, but to a computer novice like me, it struck me as odd because i haven't had this problem before. Anyway, I just want to get back to recording and any advice on how to fix this issue from you or anyone would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
FML,
Will
