Topic: Babyface Problems

Hello

I have many problems with Babyface on my Macbook Pro.
I'm on 10.7.4

In the Plogue Bidule program, when launching my patch I have to error messages :

First one is :
Driver timed out on play!

And then :
Babyface (23380517)(out)
Portaudio error (Pa_StartStrem : -10000): Hosr error. Host Error(1852797029)

I need to restart to fix this.

After waking the mac from sleep, my DAW (Digital Performer) refuses to engage playing.
The console is full of messages like this :

15/08/12 16:22:16,000 kernel: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8013014200]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (349,924)->(35f,660).

I need to change the hardware setup on the DAW to buit-in audio and then re-choose te interface to fix this.

I use the latest driver (Fireface USB Driver v1.75) and firmware.

Thanks for your help

Re: Babyface Problems

I can add that all these problems tend to occur after a wake from sleep from the Macbook pro.
After a restart, it usually works fine. But the first error also happened after a restart.

Re: Babyface Problems

Unplugging the Babyface usb cable after this error does not quit the "Fireface USB Settings" as it normally does.
I have to restart the mac.

We are examining this effect right now. Stay tuned please.

Re: Babyface Problems

On pluging it, why would the Babyface won't launch the USB settings and TotalMic apps?
