Quattro just released a new driver on November 6th. I'm using it now. I ran Norton Disk Doctor and screwed my entire system up. Once you get your system running, back-up it up. Try to dedicate your iBook to music only, if you can. I can't.

Try to re-load all your music software in the proper order. My order was this:Cubabsis, Spark le, OMS, Quattro. I use Metro 4.5.2 on my old 8500, too.

Try to power down completely. Turn on the Quattro. Plug in the USB and don't run any other USB devices. Turn on the iBook.

Start small and build your system up, piece by piece. For example, I loaded Cubasis, turned on the control panel and enabled the built in mic and recorded some audio. When that checked out okay I moved on to loading OMS (but not running Studio Set-up) and loading the Quattro drivers. Then I set-up Cubasis to run Quattro and it's ASIO driver. Launch Quattro and keep it simple as well: enable 1 & 2 input and 1 & 2 output; 16bit 44khz; set the latency to 'very high'. Record some audio. When that works, delete Quattro completely and load OMS. Then re-load Quattro. Run the OMS Studio Set-Up. Enable MIDI within your music software. This will let you see where your problems are coming from. I suspect OMS is causing some problems that the makers of Quattro need to address.

The power of computers comes at a price. Complexity! It does take time to tweak your system. Good luck and try not to get frustrated.
