M-Audio Fire Wire devices perform best on a dedicated FireWire controller with a Texas Instruments (TI) chipset. Theses problems (pops, clicks, distortion, buzzing, etc) are often encountered when using onboard FireWire ports, including those with Texas Instruments chipsets. You can identify your chipset in the “IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers” category in the Windows Device Manager (Start>Run>devmgmt.msc). Undesirable chipsets include VIA, Ricoh, and NEC. For a more detailed explanation, please see the Why is the FireWire Chipset Important FAQ.
