Hi everyone,

I have a strange problem with an 828mkII and a MacPro. Sometimes after closing an application with motu sound output (logic, a game, quicktime, etc) the interface stops working. Its still avaliable, but don't play back any sound. Only way to get sound back is a restart.

It does happen only with a MacPro. With an Intel MacMini, a MacBook Pro and Powerbook G4 evertything is fine.
I tried a complete reinstall, other cable, removing other devices, factory reset, unplugging / reconnecting, switching on/off, unloading/loading kernel extensions, booting the MacPro via firewire from a MacBook Pro, tried an other 828mkII interface, etc.
Nothing helps.

When it happens, the MOTU Midi interface is greyed out in Audio-Midi-Config.
Quicktime is hanging like 10sec when trying to play back sound.

Is there anyone with same problem or with a MacPro and no problems?

Thanks for any reply!! smile.gif

reset the nvram like explained here:
- start up in Open firmware (command-option-o-f on start up)
- at the prompt type, followed by a return:
set-defaults
reset-nvram
reset-all

It'll reboot with NVRAM back to defaults values. If the issue is a wrong bus speed somewhere, it'll cure it.

Is there something else connected in firewire?
