Topic: Fireface 802 firewire dropout/sync issues on Catalina
Hey guys,
There's this problem that's bugging me for a while now, I'm running my fireface 802 via firewire to my pc(with OSX Catalina installed). Everything runs smoothly until I start getting glitches/dropouts(as in the fw light on the interface goes on and off), randomly, either during a project or just browsing on youtube. Usually closing totalmix and restarting the audio interface solves it, sometimes restarting the computer. I remember running High Sierra on it and never had this issue back then.
I've updated to the latest drivers, I'll update the firmware too later on this evening and see what happens.
Symptoms vary from no audio at all, if the pc was open and I'm using it after a while, or fw light going on and off, or just crackling sound during a project, sometimes it goes crazy.
Is there any specific bios/OSX settings I should look at and modify?
My setup:
Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 3 mobo, Intel I7 8700 cpu, Delock 98213 Firewire A PCI firewire card, OSX Catalina 10.15.7, fireface 802 48khz/2048 samples.
