UltraLite Hybrid and Firewire 800

Post by HiPresto »

I have an Ultralite mk3 Hybrid. I love the sound, I love the interface. I love pretty much everything - except that my Mac will not see it unless I power cycle the computer.

I cannot, unlike very other Firewire device out there, get my Mac to acknowledge that I've powered up the Ultralite unless I restart my machine. Then it sees it, and happy times are had by all.

Why??? Since the Ultralite must be powered on manually, and I don't always use the interface when working on my Mac, I don't always turn it on before I power on the computer. Then, when I need it, I should just be able to turn it on, it should announce itself on the bus, and as the Brits say, "Bob's your uncle." t ain't happenin'.

So, does anybody have any idea why this is happening? Any adivce would be most appreciated.
