Audio hasn't updated their drivers in a long time, I'm not surprised
that they would have incorrect permissions in Leopard (10.5). I had
recently done a clean install on my G5 after hard drive failure,
with no change in KP behavior - even on a brand new OS install with
the most recent drivers.
My solution? I'm going to an external digital audio solution and
dumping the 2496. I sometimes need portable audio and XLR
connections. Unfortunately, USB seems to rule the roost - I would
really prefer firewire and something like the Edirol FA-66, but
unfortunately they are hard to find. I'm looking at the Mbox 2. They
seem to be getting really good reviews and are well supported in the
Mac universe. Only problem, they come with Pro Tools, which is an
(Arggggg!) M-Audio product! Garage Band here I come ;-)

Hi Stephen (and others on the list)
If you read the other thread "Re: Kernal Panics, Was ...", you'll see
the trouble I just had ... seem to be back up ... til the next kp ...
I'm doing some VHS to DV conversion, and I read along the way that USB
wasn't as good as FW when it comes to real time transfer of data ...
USB is in bursts and FW is more continuous (as I understand it).
Not sure how this applies to audio ... if you're just transferring
recorded data it might be ok ... if you're digitizing audio, its not,
as I see it. But if you're going from today's devices to the Mac,
you're already digitized ...
May have nothing to do with your application ... I had wanted to merge
my Yamaha motif es8 keyboard output, with Sibelius playback, and
possibly mix in my horn recording at a later date. Trying to do this
in real time ... using Sibelius / Keyboard as my accompanist.
All controlled by my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz tied together by a
Mackie 1402 VLZPro mixer ...
Wonder if there's a way we could fix those access / permissions and
such?
