Oxygen 8 And Macbook Comunication Problem, cant get midi signal into macbook intel core 2 duo (os 10.4.10) Options

Hi,

The signal sent from my oxygen8 isnt received from my macbook (intel core 2 duo ox 10.4.10). The weird thing is that the midi controler is recognized, i.e. it is showed active in the "audio midi setup" of the computer, even in the Live 6 "midi preferences", it does recognize the device; but when i press the keys on the oxygen it does nothing and the "midi in " of Live 6 does not lite up nor i can send any signals from the midi controler.
The problem was recreated when connecting to Absynth, but not when conected via usb cable to a hardware sequencer. As to drivers, i have installed the latest driver for my OS. . The old driver didnt work either, and when i had my other mac (powerbook) it worked just fine. So i'm thinking maybe this is a compatibility problem between oxygen and OSX 10.4.10

Arrr, any ideas??

thanks,

P

Sadly, I can't seem to be able to reach M-audio websites to check drivers. You should try later on, the servers are maybe under work or there's something fishy between my computers and them… It happens. I could only try their driver page from the goggle cache and there's 10.4.10 listed but I can't tell you if it's the same driver or not as previously.

Besides drivers, you can try to trash the actual drivers, preferences, including those related to audioMIDI for the System, and start other a new Audio MIDI Setup from scratch.

If the Oxygen is to be USB powered but can be powered from mains, try from the mains (wait to test the rest before buying an adapter if you have to).

Connect the Oxygen alone to the computer, no hub, printer etc. too. and power the macbook from mains.

That's all I can think of without being able to reach M-audio tonight… I'll try tomorrow again.

Hey thanks for the options!

Ill erase everything related to M-audio in my computer which is just a folder containing 3 files wish i dont have the least idea of what they do (newbie grin) but they are called "M-audio firmware loader", "M-audio firmware loader.rsrc" and "startup parameters.plist". They all reside in the only M-audio folder i found on my computer called "M-audio firmware loader". So ill erase those and also the "m-audio USB support.plugin" which resides in the MIDI drivers folder.

And ill also download the driver (again) from M-audio webpage... although i allready downloaded and ereased the driver 2 times!. But i feel lucky jeje.

Anyway thank you very much for your fast help!

P.S. Y also whant to know if you know of other people with the same computer - MIDI trouble. (oxygen 8 M-audio keystation series and macbook intel core 2 duo, 10.4.10, 2.16GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
