Subject:SF 8.0b updates lost my RME FF800 ASIO
Posted by: guitarmech111

After updating SF8 to 8.0b, I am no longer able to use my Fireface 800 as an audio device. The 'ASIO Firewire' option is not available. After updating SF8 to 8.0b, the SONY utilities think that the ASIO Firewire is in use by another application when it isn't.

I am able to use it in other windows applications mapping the FW800 like SONAR and Audition without problems. It seems that the SONY products are the only utilities encountering this poblem.

Can anyone help please?

Regards,
Conley Shepherd

This issue has also been confirmed by other FF800 users too.

There seems to be a real bug with update 8.0b

Known issue with ASIO when installing 8.0b over 8.0a.

See this KB article for a workaround.

A simpler, but unofficial workaround can be found here.

Thanks for the reply J.

Why has it taken so long for this to be resolved correctly? 4 months is a long time to let this little bug hang around and cause customers grief.

I will try the reinstall when I get home and let you know what happens. Thanks again.

I had to reboot, but this did work. It would sure be nice if the beta team tested this before it went out.

Thanks for the help.
