While this did fix the noise-problem I had before, it did not help with the knob... Going back to an older version is not an option. The digital loop function of the transporter in the newer releases was one of the main reasons for buying it and iPeng on my iTouch as a secondary controller also needs a newer release. Now I installed 7.2.1 from the nightlies and firmware 63 (with another xylinx programming right after it) just to test if anything would change. But no success yet. bye Wolfgang Hi Wolfgang, At first when I did some testing with my new Transporter, I had no audio at all. After reprogramming the xylinx audio worked fine (I tried digital out, and xlr). What I did ten minutes ago to activate the knob was the factory reset (unplug, then plugin + add) which worked fine.

I'm using this computer only for SC, and everything works fine; WOL is also working. The only problem I had was the USB HDD. First I tried a 500MB 3,5 external.

What i'm using now is an 2,5 320GB Samsung HDD in an external enclosure, but not seperately powered, so this disk shuts off, when the laptop is shutting down automatically at night, and wakes up together with the WOL, when i power on any of my SB3. Ofcourse i made another partition of this disc for my network storage. So i would say, go for it, but don't forget to try if your plaaned HDD workes perfect together with the USB.
