Acoustic guitar thru MOTU 896HD

I'm trying to get a good acoustic guitar sound while recording through my 896hd. However, I need to turn the gain up on the preamp so high that even when I'm getting a moderately good level (not clipping on my MOTU or in Logic), it sounds massively distorted, like very harsh clipping or something similar. I've tried different mics, different mic placements, different mic cords, etc.

MOTU 828mk2 and windows xp x64

Hello all!

i have a 64 bit system and windows xp, i think its time to upgrade to windows 64 but i cant find any 64bit firewire drivers for my MOTU 828mk2 so i wanted to ask if anybody here uses an MOTU 828mk2 firewire and Windows Xp X64 bit and do you use the 32bit drivers or if you have found 64bit drivers.
thanks

my set up
