mac pro + motu ultralite problem

Post by cor »

Hello,

The setup:

Motu ultralite

Mac pro 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core

5 Gb DDR2

OS X 10.4.8

+ all the latest updates / drivers

The problem:

For some reason ultralites audio output stops when playing sounds from Itunes / quicktime player.

Internal speaker / line out works perfectly

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall motu drivers , but it does not help for long.

Last time it worked about one second and before that it worked almost one day.

Sometimes restarting helps sometimes not.

I need to start radio program production quite soon and I will install dp5 after this nightmare is ower.

I haven't had this kind of broblems with my other setups.

Please help!

Is the MOTU selected as the audio output in your system preferences?

MACPRO 2ghz 1go ram 10.4.8
828 mkI DP 5.11



hi,
i've got the same trouble:as an example, when I quit dp 5.11 and open Kontakt 2, the motu 828 outputs don't work. And then I have to restart several times, and to do many things with not really a method , to get it working. And all this with a prerelease beta version of the future motu driver.
The hardware is nevertheless ok with my powerbook running under 10.3.9 os.
I read on forums that this problem could come from the system 10.4.8, and that it exists also with other firewire hardware like RME.
