I recently bought a used 8Pre(firewire version) and was very satisfied with it at first. It worked like a dream, simple to use and easy to watch:) But suddenly left channel was a little bit dim and very much distorted, like flanger. Right channel is ok. This computer is with El Capitan, same thing with other Macpro with Lion.
But today I took a new try with an old W10 laptop and Nuendo, it worked fine. Then with this El Capitan machine and Nuendo, everything is cool. But when I leave Nuendo and its ASIO drivers, problem comes back on Finder. With Lion one problem was also when using Garageband.
Now when I toggled optical input/output settings in MOTU audio setup from none to adat and back, problem goes away.
I think firmware and audio setup are the latest versions available. Is this driver related problem or OSX bug? Should I try some older drivers, which?
Anyone else having this same "feature"?
