yes i've found that to be true. That is not always the case though. We have around 200 ATA's with a handful that have regular 'difficulties!'. Not yet figured out why some work and others do not.
Have you tried the following settings AudioMode: 0x00120012 Connectmode: 0x9000b400 I know this works in the UK on the Version: v2.16.1.ms ata18x (Build 030814a)
