Topic: FF400 on intel mac mini 2018 TB3 with Sonoma

i tried with daisy chain (original apple adapters: FW 400/800 cable to FW800/TB2 + TB2/TB3)
the FF400 stays stuck with HOST red light on.
i cannot do nothing cause the mac doesn't see the FF...totalmix doesn't open, fireface settings doesn't open...

i succesfully installed the driver...

In MacOS system report, if you plug in the adaptors without interface, do the adaptor appear in the report under thunderbolt ?
Sometimes original Apple adapters are broke new...

Re: FF400 on intel mac mini 2018 TB3 with Sonoma

Hello,
similar problem here.

FF400 ->FW 400/800 cable -> FW800/TB2 adaptor ->TB2/TB3 adaptor-> macbook pro 2023 on Sonoma 14.2.1
Driver driver_fw_mac_335.

No host connection, Toatlmix and fireface settings won't open.

I am not an apple expert but have a technical background.

Can anyone give me some hints where I can find the information to at least see what's not working. Which logfiles do I need to check or are there any diagnostic tools I could use to analyse whats not working correctly?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Edit, just a couple of minutes after posting the above:

I don't belive it, I just started working!!!
At least the red host connection indicator is gone, fireface settings works as expected, totalmix and also logix seem to work.
Have no idea what's different now...
