Gigabyte UEFI BIOS + StarTech Firewire PCIe card - Sleep / Wake / Shutdown / Restart Issues thread

[jeffcarrera]

I upgraded my system to z77 d3h rev 1.1 latest BIOS f18 and i7 3770k. Confirmed same shutdown problems with startech fw card installed

 

[jeffcarrera]

any workarounds for this problem? is there a setting in Bios that could disable the pcie slot temporarily where the startech card is installed I only use the card for recording with profire 610 and logic pro at most 2 times a month, and I figured disabling the pcie slot in the BIOS would be less hassle than removing the card from the slot manually whenever I am not recording.

Would be nice to find a solution.

Anybody doing audio work via firewire audio interface see a noticeable difference in recording / audio quality comparing the startech to a syba (TI chipset)?

Is the sleep/wake/shutdown problem only in Mountain Lion or is it a BIOS issue? Seems like Lion is a better platform for audio production anyway...

I got a GA-Z68XP-UD3P with a Delock PCI Express Card > 2 x FireWire B, 1 x FireWire A.

It is based on a LSI L-FW643E-2 chip which apple uses for FW -> Thunderbolt connection!!!

Sleep Wake does not work with this card with Mountain Lion.

So any updates?

Cheers

Has anyone tried the F15m Beta BIOS for the GA-Z77X-UD5H yet? The only comment in the description is "Support Windows 8," but I can't imagine this is a fix they'd make a big deal about either way.
