Anyone get the demo to work with the 1814?

M-Audio just posted a new Firewire driver on their website that you should grab. It's version 1.4.4, and it has a fix for some midi issues. I don't know for sure that it will address your problem, but you should give it a shot.

By the way, starting with this build (1.4.4) of the OSX Firewire driver, all OSX Firewire drivers that M-Audio posts will support PT M-Powered, so you can feel free to download updates as they post them.

Already tried it last night while we were on the phone. They think it may be a firmware thing, and that I should install the latest driver on a PC, and hook up the 1814 and see if it'll run. Said that it might clear, and reset the firmware. I have no idea about these things, but I'll try it and see.

I am having the exact same problem, let me know if you find a fix. Unfortunatly my pc doesnt have firewire so i cant do that.

Also i find if you just load the old driver reboot it will work. You can just install newest driver then and it will update correctly.

I just got my 1814 and when I tried to use the 1.4.3 driver it would crash coreMIDI. No program would work with it (garage band, Logic Express, Digital Performer). The mac would crash - spining colored pinwheel from hell that would never go away.... I thought there was something wrong with the interface, so I tried it on my PC and it all worked fine.

I used the new driver 1.4.4 and all is fine. All programs work good and Pro Tools MP talks just fine - but it is the real thing, not the demo.

Had a friend with a PC hook my 1814 up and I would assume it flashed the firmware as I am now able to get it work at home. I am very excited. I cant wait for my M Powered software to arrive. The demo has impressed me with its performance.
