I have a Yamaha 01v96v2 I want to use the motu 896HD for my 8 aux outs. I can see the meters working on motu and I can get sound out of the stereo out but can't get direct outs to work. I've tryed everything that I know to do. I'm using the word clock at 48hz and all my aux are assinged to the adat out like I said I can see all aux sends in the meter out of the motu.

a sudden power-outtage "lock up" a MOTU audio interface. In this case, the power switch was engaged when power was lost... and when the power came back on (power switch still engaged), the 896HD was locked up. After powering down and back up... the 896HD worked as expected.
HOwever
after more chasing today I found out, when the 896HD firewire cable is disconnected from the computer, the 896 initializes properly. So then I tried plugging the firewire into my 8Pre. That unit then didn't initialize properly.
In addition, I noticed an external firewire/USB hard drive was not being seen either. When I hooked it up using it's USB port, it worked fine.
So, at this point I'm guessing it's an issue with my TI Firewire card. I have one in another machine and will cannabalize it tomorrow and report back. I hope that's all it is.
As it turns out, it was a bad fire wire card. Put a new one in this evening and, voila! She worky now
MOTU 896 IS A VERY USER FRIEND SOUND CARD. IT WORK PROPERLY FIREWIRE CARD STANDARD PIN. YOU CAN USE ANY FIREWIRE CARD AND USE NUENDO4 FOR BETTER RESULT
I have had the same issue with my 896. Your only option is to get it servived by a motu, or audio equivilant technician. Its not a major problem that you have, but the firwire contacts have loosened to the point of lost signal. It wont talk with your computer unless that firewire connector is solid. The moving is what did this, Once i moved mine a few times same thing happened. If you're on a tight budget you can teach yourself how to sauder online then you can cimply pop off the back plate remove the old connector, replace it and sauder into place. Hope this was helpful
Are you installing the drivers before connection the unit to the computer, because that is what the manual tells you to do. Otherwise I suggest you contact their help support.
Hey guys I've had this happen as well. What worked for me was the reset function. Disconnect the MOTU from the computer. Go to SETUP, turn the knob to FACTORY DEFAULTS, press SELECT, then VALUE. Reconnect MOTU to the computer. I've heard that this doesn't help everyone, but it's helped me.
