Topic: FF400 dropping out w/ iMac and Cubase 4.5

My Fireface 400 has started dropping out regularly during playback and/or recording audio. I have made no changes to my setup lately and I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac.

This fairly annoying thing happens almost always, when I plug something in/out (headphones, instruments) AND when I power amplifiers, keyboards etc. up. (indicates some kind of grounding problem, perhaps?),. But lately the whole thing has escaladed though: it happens even when just playing back and mixing tracks. Today it got to a point, where working was no more possible - earlier it only occurred maybe 2/3 times during the course of a day.

The red "host" indicator on FF400 front panel lights up when this happens.

firmware-update seems to have helped. Still puzzled about this problem, since nothing changed before this issue arose. Suppose something "invisible" had happened with OS X.
