New FW/USB Drivers

> FW 1.2.5 with no results.<

FW 1.2.5 is dated 2005. It's not supposed to work after 10.3.8 is the way that I understand it.

I would remove all the driver files, manually if necessary, trash the preferences, reboot, reinstall 1.49 and then see if you still have a problem.

The one primeevolutionary posted seems to work fine as well.

MOTU told me to use this one instead.

I've confirmed that this one works fine OSX 10.6.2 and 828 (mk I) and DP 7.02u

Hopefully, they'll have the first 828s on the next 1.5 release.

Thanks mikehalloran and Phil O, I uninstalled all MOTU drivers and deleted some manually, I rebooted, installed the MOTU Audio Installer 1.4.23 (link above), and the MOTU 828 is working again.
Thank you very much. I can sleep alright now.

Hi,

I have been having similar problems to those mentionned above, ie; I downloaded the latest MOTU driver (I have a 828 mk1), the MOTU_Audio_Installer-1.5.37320.zip, installed it and my computer went crazy at powering on. I tried desinstalling all drivers, re-installing older ones, the MOTU 828 is now undetected.

I have tried installing first the MOTU Audio Installer (1.4.5 and) and then installing the FW 1.2.5. While installing the latter, it comes to a point when I get a warning window: "System extension can't be used: the system extension "MOTU MIDI Driver.kext" hasn't been installed correctly and can't be used. Try re-install it or call your seller for an update." Same goes with extension "MOTU FireWire Audio.kext".

The thing is, after installing MOTU Audio Installer, I can clearly see the 2 extension files there, at the right place "/System/Library/Extensions/...".
I spent all day installing, uninstalling, I'm kind of getting lost now, with what update versions to use and what to do.
I have tried the MOTU Audio Installer 1.4.1, 1.4.3, 1.4.5, 1.4.9... followed by FW 1.2.5 with no results.

Any solutions?

I have a MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running OSX 10.6.2 with a MOTU 828 (original Mk1).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

I got the same error messages on the same Macbook and OS. But installing 1.4.23 worked for me. I don't recall whether that version also generated the kext error, but the 828 still worked. The difference is that I have Mk 3.

Everything seems to be working okay after the new download to DP 7.1u. I'm not sure if there's an Audio driver in this download or if it's the 1.4.23 still in effect.

Ok - a quick heads up for original 828 owners. MOTU has posted a revised update (Feb.2/10) for their firewire audio drivers v.1.5.38352. Just downloaded it and everything now works perfectly with the original 828 - no kernel panics - no glitches. All good.

I can confirm. Just did a session with my 828 piggybacked to my Apogee Rosetta and all when without a hitch. The Rosetta uses the Apple FW driver and the 828, of course, uses MOTU's. The two worked together flawlessly.

This is also the driver I rolled back to to get my setup to work (MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6, MOTU 828 mk1.) Thanks for posting it!
