Hello,
I have seen this a few times as well.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
I had that happen on a system a while back. I reinstalled the latest audio driver, and it went away.
Hope this helps.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
I have the same issue and my interface is an Ultralite AVB. Never had this with any previous version of DP at least not at the frequency it happens now.
Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
Please tell Motu about this. It is definitely a DP 9.xx something or other issue. When I reported it, they suggested checking all physical cables, interfaces, etc. Which all turned out to be fine. It is DP9.x
Happens here 4-5 times per week.
Any earlier version of DP, and hardware stands locked forever.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
I didn't get a warning, but had several instances of complete drop outs, then lockup during a session today.
Could have been the Firewire cable... I had no more problems after reconnecting my 828mkII to my Firewire 400 card (had been using the Mac Pro's built-in FW800 for a while without problem until today.)
I'll report back if the issue raises it ugly head again.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
My Track 16 is connected to TB via a TB to FW converter. If I pull the plug (hot) and plug it back in it will connect almost immediately. I recall talking to MOTU years ago in Yosemite (I believe) and the ad ice was "first on; first off" if I recall that correctly. Turn the sound device on before boot up; turn it off before shut down. That does seem to stablize things somewhat. I was generally in the habit of doing so, but may have "slipped" a few times, resulting in the disconnect. Might be worth trying for people with the problem.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
I don't know that it is a MOTU driver problem...I'm using an Apogee interface and don't have the MOTU drivers installed.
MAS shuts down on a regular basis as described.
I just restart MAS, but it is a pain and interruption.

DP 9.02 (until Motu lets us disable pre-gen globally again).
I did try it on DP 9.1x, and had the same MAS problems before I went back to 9.02, where I'm having them there also.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
Thanks. So possibly an OS issue or both Apogee and MOTU are having a problem with the same bit of code?

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
At first I was wondering if it was happening when I opened Finale or Sample Manager while DP was also going, but I notice it ALWAYS happens if I leave DP on overnight or idle for a long time?MIDI Life Crisis wrote:Thanks.

I kind of sense it's not a driver thing, though I'm no expert.
It only started happening (at least to me) with the advent of DP 9. and it's revisions.

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
It still does it in Finale and even the Finder when iTunes is the only thing running. Must be Apple's problem.
Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly
Got a note from Motu that they are on this issue, but have yet to reproduce. Please send them your specific info when you get a minute.
