Does your firewire card have a Texas Instruments chipset?

What is your system now, and what were you using before?

My Firepod was rock-solid on Windows XP, then I tried it on my laptop on Vista, and later on my desktop when I upgraded to Windows 7, and it had horrible audio dropouts, so I sold it and got a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40.

Exactly XP shit was awesome.. Im using windows 7 64bit.. I was messing around with the connections (im running 2 pods) i unplugged the second pod and it didnt seem to happen.. Maybe its something to do the chain?? I have no clue.. But yea i was wanting to get a mackie 1640

You need a card with a TI chipset. The onboard chipset is probably something else. What board do you have?

I've honestly not heard of a single person who has successfully used the Firepod on Windows 7 without dropouts.

I have. I've used 2, had no dropouts unless I hit my firewire card (on my laptop) on accident.

My current issue is that one of my FP10's is having blue light syndrome. It's ALWAYS on, even though there is no signal coming out of it or even if I have it plugged into anything or not. From what I researched, it's an issue with the firewire on the unit. I work graveyard, so I havn't been able to get ahold of cutomer service to find out wtf is going on or whether I should send it in. (Sorry for the hijack, just sharing my issues with the units).
