OSX10.6.4, PT8, Mbox 2

In System Preferences I set the sound output device to be the digi core audio device (ie: for all normal system audio, not just PT). It works fine for a while, but then it will suddenly lock up and whatever sound it was playing will keep looping over and over (it's about a one-second repeat cycle). The only way to stop it is to unplug the Mbox from USB entirely.

Any suggestions why it's locking up like this?

Thanks,
Lindsay

No tellin' - Digi Core Audio driver's have had issues before - what pops out at me is that 10.6.4 is not yet qualified - might have something do do with it.

A less drastic solution that works for me - actually, I don't get this problem since the 8.0.4 upgrade - is to open Audio MIDI Setup (while PTLE is still running) and from the Clock source drop-down menu, select S/PDIF. Usually the audio immediately begins to play normally. After a few seconds, I toggle back to Internal and that does it. This periodic hiccup used to occur so often, that I kept my Audio MIDI Setup utility in the dock. As I said, this doesn't happen since I upgraded from 8.0.3. to 8.0.4. Hope this helps.

Good to know it's not just me. The 8.0.4 update wasn't in my available downloads list but I've found it now, will install that and see if it's resolved.

Just following up -- since installing the 8.0.4 update I've had no more problems :)

Thanks,
