Hi,
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P mobo, trying to use FireWire for my Saffire LE Audio Interface.
I had a great deal of problems with the onboard FW, hiss and audio drops when using iTunes and Logic Pro, therefore I bought a Belkin Firewire 400 recommended by a mod here. The firewire card has a TI chipset and can be seen @ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... _500wt_922 On fitting the card OS X was extremely slow when booting, I had to reboot 3 times in order to get it booting completely...
After I booted into OS X I opened a Console window and iTunes to see if the card worked fine, initially using the third FW port on the card I had a load of drop outs and the audio would crash. I changed port and reset the Audio Interface and I have experienced less drop outs since, however I am getting a few occasionally.
The error in Console is;
Any ideas what the problem is? Could it be my mobo Bios version, the DSDT, do I need a certain FireWire Kext? Or could it possibly be the Saffire LE. If anybody has any input I would appreciate it.
Many thanks.
