Cause unknown. I've come that far.HeadScratch
MC, may I ask what you would refer to as "the audio system"? Because DAW and computer never hang up.
The projects always continue running and can be accessed as usual, just delivering no sound, except the erratic buffer loop.
Until the Fireface ASIO driver is removed and re-selected in the DAWs audio settings, that is.
That's when the noise stops and the sound returns.
The only piece of hardware in common, during the past 9 years is my FF800 (and a Mackie BigKnob and me)
The hangups became really frequent a couple of month ago, but have always been there from the beginning, albeit only sparsley.
Why on earth would other FW audio interfaces be completely happy with my "audio system" and my FF800 not?
It's a clean, well maintained, dedicated music machine.
But, thanks MC, and apologies to the OT, for hijacking his thread.
