are you sure your firewire chipset is supported by the firepod? My m-audio firewire (18/14) is a little picky with the 1394 controller chipsets it will play nice with.

buffer settings (in your recording app AND on your hardware driver) is how to fix that....i change mine depending on how i'm working....if i'm tracking (recording) i keep 'em as low as possible....but when mixing, i get them up pretty high...due to the processor taxing....it kinda sucks cuz if ya boost the lows with an eq, it'll take a few seconds before you hear the results while listening in real time....but you can work around it.
