MicroTrack II
Version: 1.0.6 BETA
Release Date: April 28, 2008

Applies to:
MicroTrack II

Operating System(s):
Windows Vista 32-Bit (BETA), Windows XP (BETA)

Release Notes:
This readme covers MicroTrack II Firmware v1.0.6 BETA.

Several issues reported from the field have been fixed - THANK YOU to those who cooperated on uncovering these issues. Users should be aware that this is a BETA release and it is therefore possible that bugs may still be present in this release. Please continue to check back at the M-Audio website (www.m-audio.com) for upcoming firmware releases.

============================================================
Release Notes:

- Dialog box "Reading media" now displayed during initial power-on when inserted media containing large mp3 format files cause time delay in boot process.
- Dialog box "Reading media" now displayed if the unit is handling (ff, r/w, initial playback) large mp3 format files and a time delay is necessary before the requested operation is carried out.
- Record timeline fixed in s/pdif mode.
- DMA on/off** can be toggled within > System Menu > to accommodate cards that do not support DMA
- Updated German "About" Screen
- Made modification for improving the accuracy of marker placement.

============================================================


** Leaving the DMA setting at 'on' will yield proper results with most types of CF and Microdrive media. However, some media types may encounter issues and will benefit from changing the DMA setting. The DMA setting does not change the speed or quality of recordings, and only should need to be toggled if experiencing problems, such as unit lock-up after recording.

I wonder if M-audio has quietly fixed the 20K Hz filter limitation fault in 88.2K sample rate mode.  No mention in the newer firmware it seems.

As previously posted, sent mine in for repair going on 5 months ago, but no luck with issues being fixed, and was again offered a refund by the tech department a month ago which I accepted.

So no deck here to check 88.2K bandwidth being fixed or not, and as yet, NO refund has arrived.

IMO what's wrong with the MicroTrack II won't be fixed until the release of the MicroTrack III. IOW what is needed is a complete and total redesign of the hardware/circuit board to get rid of the "sprinkler sound" and to give it user-replaceable batteries.

I have been running the new firmware without any probs.  Happy overall so far with the mtii as a bit bucket and for stealth mode with my 1/8" mini mics.
