A bit off topic, but maybe somebody here has some ideas!
My G5 2.0 Duely with Tiger (10.4.11) will often hang on boot - all the
fans running full speed and the dreaded screen saying "hold down power
button for 5 seconds..." which I do, and eventually the thing will
boot. When I look through the logs, M-audio is always right there at
the top of the list.
I have an M-Audio 2496 PCI card in it that I use a lot for digitizing
music. I see complaints on the "tubes" about how lousy the M-Audio
drivers are. Anybody else find a solution? I'm considering dumping the
card and going to a firewire audio digitizing solution. The built-in
audio isn't quite good enough.
I have the same card in my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz.
Gives me the same problem, usually solved after a second boot.
Doesn't Sleep Mode at all ... doesn't play well with other PCI cards ...
I think my new IOGEAR USB 2 is behaving well together ...
M-Audio has a Forum ...
Whenever I do a Software Update, I look for a kp at the first Restart
... not always.
Its the 2496 drivers ... temper / mental ...
Works most of the time ...
Thanks, glad to know that I'm not alone in this vast universe! I have
the most recent driver installed, but it must not have been designated
because it sure drives drunk!
