Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
Ok sorry for the confusion but getting lost here.
I'm getting an Echo III thunderbolt2 edition which I will upgrade to thunderbolt3. I emailed sonnet a few days back and said this would totally work with Pcie Native. I don't see any switch inside like on the newer TB3 edition. This will work correct? Or is this the same model you guys are having problems with? |

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
Well, I was told I wouldn't have any issues with my setup. But I really think the issue is with the HD Driver and not the Mac Studio or other hardware.
You would need to find someone with your planned setup and see how it's working. The TB2 chassis had PCIe2 slots. The TB3 chassis had PCIe3 slots, and the TB3 HDX chassis had PCIe2 slots with TB3 connections. The latest version has PCIe3 slots and an internal switch that allows them to work as PCIe2 slots. At least, that's my understanding.

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
That is correct. I have been using a borrowed HDX card for a week now and have had no problems at all. Now I am using a HD Native TB with Apple USB C TB3 - TB2 adapter.
This works fine. However, once after starting Protools the system usage monitor showed the same picture as with the HD Nativ PCIe. After restarting the computer everything was O.K. again. But so far I have no luck with the HD Native card.

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
Be sure to report it to Avid so they can continue to work on a fix asap. Other people are having the same issues.

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
So it's been a few days and was curious if any of you have got it worked out?
Also, if you have been in contact with Avid, what are they saying at this point? Appreciate it |

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
My workaround at the moment is to use the borrowed HD Native TB.
That way there are no problems. Of course, this is not a permanent solution. I have not contacted Avid support.

Mac Studio Max~Apple TB2/TB3 adapter~TB cable~Apple TB2/TB3 adapter~Sonnet Echo 3 Desktop(HD Native PCIe)~HD Omni The CPU spike now occurs about 2 of 10 times that I start Protools or the computer. Before the work around the spikes happened about 8 of 10 times and no sessions would play. I will keep testing it and maybe try more TB devices.

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
Hey guys !
Kind of having the same problems although using a MBP M1 Max here. My Setup: Macbook Pro M1 Max 64GB RAM, 2TB flashdrive Echo III Desktop TB3 (following Sonnet's support switched to "HDX compatibility" HD native card (alongside 2 UAD cards, 1 Octo, 1 Quad) Pro Tools V2022.4 Running playback in PT with HD native as Playback Engine is extremely laggy and stuttering - same session with a simple Audient iD4 interface is playing back perfectly fluent ! |

Re: Sonnet Echo 3 Chasis not Recognized my Mac Studio/PT
There are lots of folks posting comments in different threads about performance problems with HD Native with Apple Silicon Macs and Sonnet Chassis. I think I've only seen one case number... you folks should be helping yourselves and reporting problems to Avid support, and then posting case numbers here, and when you do report to Avid support if you think what you are seeing is the same as others, give support those case numbers.
This might need somebody from Avid to raise attention on this problem, and having a clear collection of cases likely helps. Anybody eventually gets a bug number please share that here as well (but with description to be clear.... not everybody may have the same exact problem.). |

The last time I tried to roll up things with Avid Support it took 3 years after they told me that this issue (btw one that was a massive PT flaw since the beginning!) would be worked on with "highest priority" for the next update... My entry was a first try of evaluating what's current state of things - and my considerations are getting a feeling on which piece of the puzzle is really the problem (The new Macs ? The Sonnet Echo III ? The new Mac OS Monterey ? ProTools ? The HD driver ?) ????? And if it would turn out that it's rather the Sonnet I could still give it back now...
