1. I would detach the fw interface cable from from pc
2. uninstall FW kexts from all companies and types
3. disable SIP
4. restart, 2x nvram reset
5. re-install your fw drivers
6. enable SIP,
7. restart, 2x nvram reset
8. login and see if sys prefs telling something about legacy extensions
9. shut down
10. attach firewire, turn on pc

maybe reseting the FW device to factory defaults also helps

but its also likely that there is something wrong in your OC EFI or config

Here's my current EFi and config:

As you'll see the AppleFWAudio is the only FW kext

Hi ! I have just updated to Sonoma 14.4 and no problem for me with my FireWire audio interfaces. Double check that your BIOS is correctly configured as well as OpenCore.

is there any chance you could share your settings please?

I can't afford new sound card right now and if you've managed to get the Saffire working with 14.4 I'd be very grateful for your help to achieve the same!

Here's a strange thing - when I remove the AppleFWAudio and Saffire kexts I get this:

I just reinstalled the AppleFWAudioVentura.pkg and the same?

 

[northwinds]

So went ahead with the Saffire MixControl-3.9.3168_0.dmg install and all seemed to go well, asking for authorising, etc, and then rebooted.

Same FW as above in system settings but still not working?

I have
updated OC to 0.99
Checked csrutil = disable
BIOS is VT-d yes CSM no and UEFI only

Any other suggestions please?

 

[northwinds]

could someone who has this working please post their EFI and /Library/Extensions folder?

Please?
