Presonus FireBox Review

[lessthenzero]

Hello everyone. I just got an account set up here so i could ask some questions regarding the firebox. I recently got one and hooked it up to my Imac G5 running Mac OS X v10.4. everything plugged in without a hitch. Then i plugged in my monitors, they being Rokit 5's, and turned on the computer. The blue light on the firebox comes on and tells me that it is being read by the computer. Then i plug in my guitar and open Garageband and st it up as real instrument and all that stuff. It works. Then I turn off my computer and power it on the next day and the Firebox is being picked up in system preferences but no sound is being picked up, either from the guitar or the condensor mic. So i unplug the fire wire and it says that the are no MIDI devices selected. Then i plugged it back in and it says it picked it up 1 midi device Presonus firebox, all that jazz, and i selected it and sound was picked up again. But this time it would not play the music back through the monitors. Fine whatever i'll fix it later. So i come back to day and turn on the computer and now the sound was playing only through the monitors. All sound, iTunes for example was playing through it. But now no sound was being picked up from the instruments. Then i moving my computer over an inch and the monitors stopped playing. The screen showed the volume bar drop from 1 less then full all the way down to 3. I have no idea whats going on. Maybe my firewire input on the back is mess up. So i'm here, driven to the verge of insanity asking fro some simple help.
