Audio disappears, reappears after tweaking clock source
Has anyone experienced this on any system, ever? My details below.
In OSX, iLife, any non-DIGI app. (digital performer, garageband, iTunes, previewing mp3's in Finder, etc.) audio will occasionally, suddenly cut out entirely. My fix has been: switch clock source (either in Audio MIDI Setup or in digital performer) to Word Clock, then back to internal. This re-kick-starts it. I need to do this every 10-20 minutes. ANY help, comments appreciate. DIGI support not helpful (they don't officially support my computer yet, so...).

Just a guess, but it sounds like you might have a faulty firewire cable. Try replacing it and see if the problem with your audio dropping out persists. Make sure not to exceed the recommended length of 4.5 meters (keep as short as possible).

If you *are* using the MacBook Pro in your post then, yes, it's untested and unsupported and there may be issues with it that we are unaware of until the testing process completes. From the notes I have in the record, our tech threw the book at this, so it does seem like there may be issues with this particular model Mac related to Digidesign hardware. I see we already had you try a new firewire cable. The only other thing I could recommend is removing all plug-ins from your plug-ins folder, trash prefs, restart and try again - it may be related to a corrupt or incompatible plug-in. Also, testing under a new administrator account may also help to see if it's something specific to your current account causing the problem. |

To me it's as if all of these are "fighting over" audio with DAE and/or the Mbox FW driver. I just don't have a smarter way of describing it. Thanks for your individual attention. -scot |
