Goldy - I have a Fireface 800 which uses the exact same driver as the 400, and it works well in BIAB. Can you confirm that you're using the latest driver and firmware for the Fireface? Latest driver version is 3.125, firmware is 1.71: https://rme-audio.com/downloads.html

As well, use the Fireface settings app in your taskbar to change the sample rate and buffer for the Fireface - use 44,100hz and set the buffer relatively high - 256, 512, 1024, etc...

Firewire devices often have issues with certain Firewire chipsets - in particular, the Texas Instruments chipsets are usually considered the best but some others might work well or not at all. Perhaps a different Firewire card could help. I mostly use my Mac Pro which I think has the TI chip, but I've also used cards from Agere/Lucent that worked well.

In addition, please right click on the Start menu and choose Run, then enter in winver and press enter. What version number and build number are showing here? The latest Windows version is 20H2 - try updating if you can.

*EDIT* Your response came through while I was typing mine - forget about the Windows version as I missed that you're on Win7. Try the buffer and sample rate settings and see how that goes.
