guess what: i fixed it with the last quick thought coming to my mind before retiring... i uninstalled all „Realtek ALC1150“ kext. now, i got no „onboard“ audio anymore, but since 24h my stress testing Pro tools project is on loop playing like a charm. sometime the hackingtosh struggle is deadly...

This is the SysLog until it crashed again: Dec 9 01:50:39 Marcs-iMac Dropbox Web Helper[606]: [1209/015039:WARNING:vt_video_decode_accelerator_mac.cc(205)] Failed to create hardware VideoToolbox session. Hardware accelerated video decoding will be disabled. Dec 9 01:50:41 Marcs-iMac...

Tried a new USB interface, 10.13.6, PT 2018.7, after approximately 1,5 h of PT work, freeze. What else is possible? The SSD with OSX, HDD with pro tools projects? Could the HDD be „corrupt“? RAM error? Some system buffer overload? When the freeze „appears“, the hack „sounds“ like running normal...

I got a 2nd SSD, installed 10.13.6 with 14,2 sysdef, PT 2018.7 and.....same problem, after 5-15 min of working in PT— blopp blopp freeze! mac mini 2018 seems to be the go to now

ok. Focusrite got an own "DSP mixer" which is only available when a Focusrite HW is connected. As soon as the Interface is turned on, it is my "main output" in OSX. It is also a new "item" in the "Playback Engine" drop down menu as well as in the OSX audio settings and of course selected in...

hmm ok, couple a days ago it tried to use a 2nd SSD and install 10.13.6 for testing. same Pro Tools problem appeared. I'm kind of helpless because the right now it is not useable for professional work...i even started thinking of buying a new mac mini.... what i just remember. i updated 10.11.6...

@jerivalu , a few questions: which BIOS version do you use? still F5? which Audio Interface is connected to your hack / TB3, USB, FW? do you face the problem when pro tools is opened that your finder freezes when previewing some audio files quick after another? like audio1, spacebar, down key...

I had the Syba card (worked initially OOB) but had random freezes when using protools 2018.10. since 2 month. Now i changed to TB3->TB2 --> TB2-> FW800 --> FW800-> FW400 adapter (3x). Freezes gone for first week. * OS 10.11.6 * Build: exactly the same...

It seems to be a Firewire problem that causes the Bloop bloop freeze. Im just ordered a TH3-TH2 and TH2-FW Adapter and try to find out, if its because of the firewire card (Syba). We will see... EDIT: Its not a FW problem. it seems to be a problem between Pro Tools 2018.10 and the Hack.. Had a...

Thank you!! Did u face any problem updating the system to 10.13.1? Re-installing some clover settings, kexts etc? Graphic problems? Or did u just install the High Sierra installer?

Kinda old but important for me: Which OSX are you using right now? Which DAW? I'm having almost the same setup, except the TH devices because i still stick to my Focusrite pro 40 connected via Firewire. My basic problem is that i randomly get a "sound stutter freeze" of my Pro Tools (since...

thx. perfect. worked for me! and if someone could now write down the following steps for hiding the OSX Recovery HD Partition in the Boot Manager GUI, it would be a step by step tutorial ;)

Yes. With El Capitan OOB! Recognized as soon as it is plugged in :)

Hi Bardaxx, i'm faceing the same problem u got. I own the Saffire Pro 24DSP. Yesterday i connected the Saffire from my Syba (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B002S53IG8/?tag=tonymacx8603-21). Connection stable from Pro Tools, playing a session for 1-5 min, afterwards the connection is lost. Did...
