Hi, all. First time posting -- hell, first time attempting home recording. Don't beat me up too bad.

Anyway, I have an iBook clamshell, 366 mHz/320mb/6gig, and the M-Audio Mobile Pre USB. I installed the drivers; Audacity; the Live Delta program that comes with it; and ProTools FREE. Nothing works. When I open up the Sound control panel, I keep getting a message saying I can't adjust the settings on the MobilePre, because another program is using it. This, when no other programs are running; even when I have the MAudio settings control panel extension disabled. I tried restarting the computer (several times, with the USB in and without the USB in), I tried downloading and reinstalling the driver, I tried all the audio software on my 'puter (the above, plus iTunes). The first time I hooked it up, I got iTunes to play music through it; I've never gotten anything since, and I've never gotten my computer to accept it as an input.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, people. I hope this is the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship. ;)

Hello, and welcome to HRC.

Ok, I wil preface this by saying I am NOT a Mac type of person. But, I will ask, since you PC seems pretty oild (366mHz is pretty slow), the minimum requirements are G3/300 or G4/400 are you above that?

Also, have you been to the web site and downloaded the latest drivers for your OS? Which Mac OS are you using?

Yeah, it's kind of a dinosaur. But I've gotten it to play back music before through the thing -- once -- and I think mAudio just said it needed a g3, which I have. In other words, yes, I think it meets the minimum requirements.

I downloaded and installed the latest driver last night, and it was, I think, the same driver I had. I'm using Mac OS 9.2.

Thanks,
Richard
