M-Audio FireWire device was not detected by your computer on startup, try the following
troubleshooting options instead of hotplugging it:
1. Turn your M-Audio FireWire device off, wait 30 seconds then power it on.
2. Put your computer into hibernation mode, wait 30 seconds then reactivate it.
3. Restart the computer (don’t turn it off) while the M-Audio FireWire device remains
connected and powered on.
The FireWire Audiophile is equipped with two analog inputs and four analog outputs on
unbalanced RCA connectors. Two more channels of S/PDIF digital input and output are
provided on coaxial connectors. That makes the FireWire Audiophile a four-input, six-
output audio interface capable of high-quality analog and digital I/O in full 24-bit
resolution, at sampling rates up to 96kHz for recording and playback. Its S/PDIF digital
output supports pass-through of AC-3 and DTS encoded multi-channel digital audio,
(Windows and Mac OS X only), and it also gives you sixteen channels of MIDI I/O.
The FireWire Audiophile’s easy-to-use software control panel provides you with powerful
routing and mixing control, creating a virtual six-channel output matrix for your audio
software.
You can route any combination of inputs to any outputs, and each mixer
channel supports a virtual aux send for unprecedented flexibility. You can take
advantage of ultra-low latency software monitoring with built-in ASIO drivers, and near
zero-latency direct hardware monitoring.
The front panel headphone Source selector is designed to give you immediate access to
selectable stereo monitor sources, with a dedicated rotary level control. The main front
panel rotary encoder can be assigned via the control panel to control any addressable
software or hardware levels, and the FireWire Audiophile can be powered via the
FireWire bus for total portability.
