But this is the info to take to M-audio for support. Well, given that without the Audio card installed you have success, or with 10.4.11 you have success, I"m leaning towards the M-Audio drivers having a bug in them under 10.5, and/or the card itself having a subtle failure. (basically something's broke in the card, or there's some subtle firmware issue, leading to the driver breaking under 10.5..is there a firmware update for the card?) The difference between a cold boot and restart is that power is interrupted in a cold boot, whereas it is not in a restart. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
