Hi all,

I´m having a weired problem with my Fireface 800. Since about half a year I´m having trouble with my FF800. It plays some time (sometimes hours and at later stages only for minutes) and then it starts loosing the connection, the sound starts to get distorted - when I check the RME Fireface Settings I can see that the clock gets lost - thats when its either on master or on slave using an outboard clock. After that I´m loosing the middle row of the fireface mixer and then everything is dead - no sound. Sometimes I can switch the FF800 off and try to connect again, sometimes it is not working, only after a longer time... about half an hour or so. The problem started under my MacBookPro with Snow Leopard and driver 2.71 - I´m now on Lion with driver 3.02. Always when there is a new driver the soundcard seems to work for some weeks and after that time the old bug comes back. Reinstalling the driver doesn´t help. I tried different firewire cables - 400 and 800, always the same.
What can cause this issue? I would be very thankful for any help.

Best regards - Christoph
