When I upgraded to Windows XP, my MOTU 2408 or other MOTU PCI424 device sounds choppy, like I’m listening to it through a fan. What can I do?
First, you may want to try downloading Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) from http://www.microsoft.com/ and installing that. Then, uninstall and reinstall the MOTU drivers. We recommend downloading the latest XP drivers from www.motu.com/downloads
