I don't get why MOTU is not always clear on what improvment comes with a new Driver update. Why no Clear release notes???

I have had ongoing problems switching between applications with my Traveler... with DP open, sometimes when I loaded Logic or QuickTime I would lose the audio from them and get the dreaded high pitch squeak.... I just had to reboot and load programs in a different sequence.

Well I just loaded the new FW driver and touch wood, so far this problem seems to have finally gone away....

Me too, similar problem with Traveler. DP has always worked 100%, but can never count on QuickTime and Melodyne. Fingers crossed that this new driver fixes that for good.
DP10.13, OSX 10.13.6, Melodyne Studio 4.1, Dorico Pro 3.5, Sibelius 7.1.3, MOTU Mosaic 1.5, MOTU Traveler mk1.
