Just bought the new MOTO M4 USB Audio interface and got a very surprising "issue"!..

So here is the thing.. After switching my sample rate to 96000 or even 192000 Hz in my FL Studio DAW, the song during playback began to randomly and rapidly appear and disappear, on top of that I also got the blue screen on my laptop saying that it would be restarted, however, when I'm on 44100 Hz, the disturbances have never been occurred (at least by now!).. So is my MOTU interface fine despite of these things, or I really have to exchange it?
 
Idk but I suspect the issue is on the computer side. Use the ASIO drivers that come with the M4 and try another DAW. I use Reaper with my M4 and it works at 96k. 192 can be a problem judging from what I've read. You can also try Audacity and REW. If the M4 is ok with another DAW and ASIO or the Java API in REW then you've learned something.
 

Multicore, Thanks for reply bro, I will try to use a different DAW when the time comes, however, I'm also assuming that happens because of my Laptops CPU, which might not has enough power to maintain this 192 Hz, but at the same time there is no extra noise coming from my laptop at the same time, so wired to see these!?..

 
It might not be CPU limited. It can be just a crummy software stack that doesn't work well enough for 192. Tuning those stacks can be tricky which is why MOTU gives you a panel of incomprehensible controls so you can try do it. It's in Chapter 2 of the User Guide.


I loath and despise audio on Windows. There must have been a meeting some time in the past where the big players deiced it's too much bother to make it easy for users, so let's not.

Maybe if you adjust something in Windows and something else in the MOTU config and something else again in your DAW you can make it work. Maybe. Nobody knows.
 

Multicore, Reaper is a truly Beast DAW, haven't found such issues with my MOTU though, and I'm also feeling like I'm gonna forget Cubase for good.., it was totally insane to get even more problems over solving just 1, so Reaper is definitely under consideration!.. Thanks for reply bro - you truly saved my day today!))​

Regards!
