Sick Of M-audio Fw410, aaarrgh!! Options

[eMpTy]

Once again M-Audio comes out with a crap driver for the FW410, I am getting so sick of this.

So I install the new driver thinking it is going to rectify the not able to wake up problem, first thing I do is open the panel check to see the driver number then go to load a saved set and as soon as the load button is pressed some crash notice comes up with a file location and some other stuff. So I go to open Grab to get a screen shot, switch back to the FW410 Panel using TAB+Command and as soon as I touch the screen I get an OS crash with the multi language white writing on a black background.

I am so annoyed by M-Audio and the problems I have had with this product from day one, CDs that didn't work, crashed OSX multiple times, not working as advertised and shit driver after shit driver.

I will try not buy any of their products again and I hope you don't either for your sake.

Sorry to be so negative but it is too much already.

I agree the 410 has loads of problems. For me it's massive latency. I don't have the best computer in the world, but I'm sure it's mainly the 410. For example if I use the ozone instead the latency is much much better. I hate the ozone as well though, since it has a very strange tendency to cut out and not transmit sound, which then recquires me to restart not only the ozone but the program I'm running.
These are definately the last 2 m-audio products I buy. Several other people macs I know have the same problems, but yet most people seem to agree that their drivers are great for PC's. Apparently they just don't give a shit about properly developing drivers for macs.
This whole thing sucks though, now I feel like I'm wasting my time screwing about with the 410, and might as well go ahead and buy a new AI, but I don't really have the money since I've already wasted so much on m-audio.
