Remove unrelated software and drivers 
The presence of drivers for other FireWire devices and other audio 
devices, even though they are not actively connected, may be a 
cause of system trouble. Consider stripping down your computer to 
be solely music-oriented.  A Computer that has seen many 
generations of audio interface may need to have its OS cleanly 
reinstalled to work reliably. 
Optimize for speed to reduce audio problems 
TASCAM recommends optimizing your OS installation for best 
possible audio application performance. Websites such as 
www.musicXP.net
 have useful information.
