Topic: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

Hi there,

I've been using a MacBook Pro with an old Fireface 400 (through USB-C to thunderbolt and thunderbolt to firefire 800 adapters) successfully for at least 6 months. Just a week ago I added a Fireface UC through a USB hub attached to my Dell monitor, which connects to the macbook over USB-C. Since adding the UC I've had two macOS crashes - kernel panics - which, in the crash dump, show the cause to be the RME USB driver. It appears to occur when the macbook is left alone and maybe goes to sleep - which (I think) disconnects the Dell display and the USB hub.

RME folks, any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Apple M2 Max, 64 GB, Sonoma 14.2.1
Fireface 400, Driver 3.41, Firmware 1.71
Fireface UC, Driver 3.31, Firmware 127

Thanks,
Michael

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

Mac Sleep mode has always been iffy about reconnecting USB peripherals, best to avoid sleep if you can.

Also the USB hub of the monitor is not ideal, please connect direct to a USB port on the Mac.

>> Also the USB hub of the monitor is not ideal, please connect direct to a USB port on the Mac.

Point taken. I do share the Fireface UC (via the monitor) with a 2nd MacBook - the monitor can switch between the two MacBooks and switches the USB hub at the same time.

I can tolerate driver errors when switching but it would be preferable not to crash macOS completely. (I have many apps and a virtual machine open on both MacBooks, and VM's don't like the host OS crashing either.)

Thanks,
Michael

If you have a crash report - send it to us...

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

I just sent a macOS crash report through the RME website contact form. Let me know if you'd like me to post it here also. (The crashes are happening daily and reliably for me, with the setup described above. The only way to avoid it is to physically disconnect the USB to the Fireface UC every time before I walk away from my MacBook for any significant length of time.

And I see someone else has posted macOS crash reports today in another thread!

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

I did not receive a crash report so far. Try to send it through the forum mailer.

Usually our drivers do not have an issue with surprise removal (or HotPlug) - that is standard Plug&Play behaviour. You seem to support that as you wrote switching the UC off first will prevent the crash. You could also just pull out the USB cable, should be the same.

If there is a crash because the (external) hub is unexpectedly removed then this seems to be a very unique issue and I am not sure our driver is crashing here.

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

In case it helps - I just came here to ask this myself. FF400 worked great yesterday. Put the system to sleep, and when I woke it up this morning it had a kernel panic and reboot.

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffe0024ad14e4): busy timeout[0], (60s): multiple entries holding the registry busy, IOKit termination queue depth 0: 'AppleAHCI' (1,400001), 'pci1b21,625' (1,400001), 'IOPP' (1,400001) @IOService.cpp:5770

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

hello there,

I've started seeing kernel panics today as well with my Fireface UC, driver 331, on an m1 macbook air with sonoma 14.5.
The computer is no longer starting up Totalmix nor the Fireface USB Settings, the device is no longer useable but seems to be still alive.

Am on site in the middle of heavy production, any solution/suggestion *very* much appreciated.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe002fa983e4): busy timeout[0], (60s): multiple entries holding the registry busy, IOKit termination queue depth 0: 'de_RME_driver_USBAudioDevice' (1,1810001), 'IOUSBHostInterface' (1,1810001), 'de_RME_driver_USBAudioDevice' (1,1810001), 'IOUSBHostInterface' (1,1810001) @IOService.cpp:5770

Re: macOS Sonoma crash (kernel panic) with driver 3.31

hello there,

I've started seeing kernel panics today as well with my Fireface UC, driver 331, on an m1 macbook air with sonoma 14.5.
The computer is no longer starting up Totalmix nor the Fireface USB Settings, the device is no longer useable but seems to be still alive.

Is the UC maybe accidentally set to PC mode instead of Apple mode?

From the manual:
• Check the correct firmware version by a double click on the rotary encoder button. The display PC means Windows, the display AP means Mac. The double click automatically switches between both versions. Note: a change of state is only possible when the unit is not connected to the computer.

Point taken. I do share the Fireface UC (via the monitor) with a 2nd MacBook - the monitor can switch between the two MacBooks and switches the USB hub at the same time.

whoa. I think you might have a better chance linking the two interfaces using e.g. ADAT (+ BNC sync), than you would if trying to share one interface between two machines, using Dell's idea of a USB hub.
IConnectivity have an interface that supports that scenario, but I doubt they'd recommend connecting to anything other than a direct computer port.
My experience with a variety of Dell displays and Macs for 15+ years is that often the computer and display have opposite ideas of what is switched on, what is connected, and which device wakes up the other. It's worse on macOS 11+ and darkwake on modern Macs. You're better off not using the display's USB hub, especially with a new M2.
Though Anker and Orico make reliable USB hubs, I'd still connect the interface directly to the Mac.
If you have a Thunderbolt hub that might be a reasonable exception (have tried my Fireface UCX through a Sonnettech and it's solid).
