Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0 problem

Found this thread when researching the Multimix 8. Are all 4 mic channels bad? Do line level inputs work?

Thanks for the reply, everything seems to be fine except the USB output, I'm just using the main mix outputs into an old Tascam Portastudio as a soundcard. Recording drums this way means I can still use 4 mics on the kit but the tracks can't be mixed seperately. Kinda annoying as its trial and error trying to get a decent sound this way, it does sound good after moving the mics around but defeats the purpose of the Multimix

Ok so the analog part of the mixer is still fine, which narrows it down to a couple of possibilities:

1) The Multimix's ADC. You might be screwed if this is the case since you probably won't be able to fix it yourself. Is it still under warranty?
2) The drivers. Maybe try re-installing ASIO or see if Alesis has a driver update on their website.
3) DAW/computer. Did anything change with your computer? If you installed something that's eating your CPU/memory resources, you may have to re-adjust your buffer size and drive error compensation.
