Sound Crapping Out.... Options

[Tophicles]

Greetings all!

Here is a copy of the e-mail I fired off to tech support at ST AUDIO this morning, wondering if any mac gurus had some advice for me?

_____________________________________________________________
I recently acquired a dual G4 500Mhz machine. I was TOTALLY amazed and eager to get it setup for recording. The wonderful ST AUDIO C-PORT 2000 is cross-platform, so I was even more impressed!

On the website, it says to use "at LEAST OS 10.2", so I gleefully plugged in the card under Panther (10.3.2). Only after hunting the forums, did I discover that 10.3 does not support the installer. (not complaining, as a computer guy, I know how hard it is to keep up with the changing OS wars), but an indication on the download page that 10.3 is not supported would have been nice. (especially since this discussion seems to go back as far as January)

Now, inside Deck 3.5, I followed the instructions and successfully recorded a track. The bummer here, is that after only 4 tracks of audio with 4 FX on each track, the sound became garbled and useless.

Being new to MAC, is that a machine fault or a card fault? I find it hard to beleive that a machine with that much horsepower would not handle that. The specs of the machine are as follows:

Dual g4 - 500Mhz; 512Mb RAM; 16Mb ATI Video; ST C-2000;
30Gb HDD.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to a 10.3 release of the drivers, as 10.3 made significant performance improvements to Core Audio.
