Topic: Problems with latest Mac Driver (v.2,91)

Hi all,
yesterday I did a clean install of my OSX in my MacPro, and I intalled the latest driver (I hadn't before, I was with 2.90) for my FF400.
The thing is that the computer is experimenting same problems that was in the recently past. When I turn on the FF, after the computer is on, no sound throught the FF, just from the MacPro speaker.
Tried several tricks, but can't get a fix for it.

Is anyone experimenting this???

Some help would be welcome.


Thanks in advance,

P.

Re: Problems with latest Mac Driver (v.2,91)

I did a complete clean of the driver... and now "seems" working... (2.90)
But I guess something is not ok there... the keyboard volume control still doesn't work.

I'll upgrade to 2.91 to do more test.

Well... updating to 2.91 after installing 2.90 it "seems" working... will do more test later...
The only thing is still no volume control with the keyboard keys (F11 and F12. The F10 key never worked before)

Re: Problems with latest Mac Driver (v.2,91)

I have to confirm, after tests, and problems and problems... that the problem persist.
If I forget to turn on the FF before turning on the Mac, will have problems... and needs a restart with the FF turned on.

It makes you sense this?:
It works if I turn OFF the FF before turning OFF the Mac, and then after turning on the Mac without turning on the FF, I am able to turning on the FF with no problems.

But I forget turning off the FF before turning off the Mac, (so, I turn off the FF AFTER turning off the Mac),... when turning on the Mac, as I described first, I find problems.


Sorry for this mess!

The volume control never changed, and is still working and available with all drivers up to 2.91. This alone is a sign that there is something wrong with your Mac.

Right, because it worked in the past...
But now, this is a clean OSX installation... do you think my FF can be damaged?

Thanks for answering MC.
