mac does not recognize presonus firestudio driver

I first owned the firepod, and kept having intermittant distortions half way thru recording, lost several live tracks. (Running on a hp pavilion zv6000 laptop, 1gigDDR, Athlon 64) the ATI Radeon 9000 series has already identified incompatibility issues and now I think I have confirmed incompatibilty with the ATI Xpress 200M. The computer shuts down with a driver error.Īfter a long and grueling wait and discussion with Presonus tech support, we concluded that ATI was at fault. Or get the Saffire which has been out for awhile.Īre you running any ATI graphics chips? My sonar 6 PE will not record or play with the firestudio. That said, I second the suggestion of installing the Firewire hotfix.

Try to realize that what you call 'great solutions' are only so on paper.

Or be patient, and wait for the audio interface's drivers to mature. and bleed with lack of stability for awhile. My guess is they're buggy with most hosts - they're brand new! Go search in the forums and I think you'll find that pretty much every audio interface had teething problems in the beginning. I can relate to your frustration, but you just used two BRAND NEW devices as examples of being buggy in Sonar. You research these interfaces such as the Konnekt, or the Firestudio, and they seem like great solutions, until you discover they won't work or are totally flakey with Sonar! What that heck is Sonar doing that other software doesn't do to break these things? Its frustrating that Sonar seems to 'break' so many of these new generation firewire interfaces, especially if you have a newer computer.
