Topic: Driver 2.71 problem on Mac

Hi there,
I was so happy this afternoon after installing the new driver...
An hour ago, I went out, and I left my MacPro in sleep mode.
When I pressed a key to wake up the computer, I've got a freeze (the one with the square advertisement on the middle of the screen).
Hard restart.
Then, I tried to reproduce it again, but I could not. I could not get the freeze, but coming back from sleep mode, my FF does not play any audio. Lights and icons seems ok, but not sound.
I turned off the FF, and the icons went away.
I turned on the FF, the icons came again, but still not audio.

Sorry for this.

Re: Driver 2.71 problem on Mac

Your problem might be the bus powering. Try with external power supply.

Also make sure the new driver is installed - check all the files, or delete the current one manually and reinstall the new one.

Try to change the sample rate, in settings, to something else  and then back again.

Perhaps you somehow triggered this interuption-during-playback-problem.

Re: Driver 2.71 problem on Mac

Thank you Matthias, it worked to me.
But, in order to doing some tests, I've notice that turning of FF400 while playing back, and turning on again, after listen the music through the onboard speaker in my MacPro, the playback works, no freezes, but no audio.
I know this is a stupid thing, but, as I told you, it was doing some tests to the new driver... I don't think many people do this.

Thanks,

P.

Re: Driver 2.71 problem on Mac

For a reason that I don't understand everybody seems to do that. Try 2.72...
