828 mkII & iChat. Stop working accordingly

D_Gordon · Post by **D_Gordon** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 2:49 pm

Hello All.

I'm very intrigued with a problem using iChat with my 828 mkII.

It used to work perfectly for an year.

I don't know why (maybe after some OSX or MOTU drivers updates...or something else), since few weeks ago, I cannot see the telephone icon on my buddies names, or even the telephone icon on my iChat icon.
So, I cannot call anybody to make an audio chat.
(I tried with a friend of mine calling me and it worked).

Anybody experiencing this kind of bizarre and unexpected problem?

Other than that I don't have any problem with my 828. Works perfectly in Logic, Garage Band, playing iTunes music and OSX sounds.

Go figure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gordon

I hadn't tried it recently, but a while back when there were various software updates from apple, the 828 no would not work with iChat. I think it was an update to iChat that was the culprit, but I don't recall for sure.

But I just tried it again for the first time in a long while, and it appears to be working, although I have actually tried to have a conversation with anyone yet.

It's working just fine.

Thanks for answering, but unfortunately it's not working accordingly here.

It works if somebody call me.
Although I have to tell this person that I'm available for audio chatting, because as I said, my buddies cannot see the telephone icon showing I'm available for audio chat, and I cannot see theirs.

Let's hope OSX 10.4.9 fix that or maybe some MOTU driver update.

That situation is annoying.

could it be to do with the isight plugin in the HAL folder thingy?

Just a thought...

Thanks for the idea but I move the iSight plug-in out of the HAL plug-ins folder and still didn't work.
And I don't have an iSight anyway...

Very strange. It used to work perfectly.

I really don't know what to do.

Maybe I'll have to buy an iSight on eBay.

Any other thoughts?
