Hi,
Im running OSX 10.3.9 on a Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz, 1GB memory and i just bought FIREFACE 800 thinking that its probably one of the best soundcards of its kind. Unfortunatelly I cannot update the card's firmware (It fails at the end) and I'm having cliks on the right output channel (All right outputs headphones, spdif etc). I have tried different firewire cables, 800 and 400, with and without devices connected on the firewire bus, isolated mains supply, reinstalled drivers, repaired permissions but still. Crackles happen at all buffer settings, with logic, ableton live, itunes, quicktime, osx sounds etc. Just to make sure, I've tested the unit on a PC and it had the same problems so I thought it must be the unit. So I went and REPLACED it but i'm still having exactly the same problems . Any help would be great. Ion P.S. : I'm using the latest FIREFACE 800 drivers 2.01 and have tried flashing the unit with 1.83 flash utility and even the 1.66 one but no luck. |

Try posting your problem (and searching that forum) at www.osxaudio.com/
There has been some good Fireface advice etc there this year. Some people have had problems solved by replacing their units and in one case the f/wire cable was at fault. David |
