Hi All, having following problem:

System: Intel Q6600 (2.4ghz)
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
2GB RAM
8800GT
On board sound.
'besta' PCI Firewire card

Running Kalyway 10.5.2, all working perfectly.

Recently bought a Metric Halo 2882 Firewire interface.
Download all latest drivers etc, install etc.
Go to play and all I get is incoherent stuttering

Device is being recognised in System Profiler and Mio as well.

any ideas?

I had the same Problem-  with Metric Halo, as well as Apogee Interfaces.

Simple Solution: get a Firewire Card with Texas Instruments Chip and you should be fine.

Isn´t it TI chipset in the onboard FW on this mobo, I used to have one and I´m pretty sure it is. Worked ok with my saffire Pro 10 i/o so my guess is´s something else causing this.

Hi, have you fixed it yet?

I had the same problem and discovered that the TI Firewire solution did not address it. In the end I was able to isolate it to running Quartz Extreme on an NVidia graphics card. You can check if this is the problem by running Quartz Debug from the Developer tools. My fix was to get a Radeon card and turn off Quartz Extreme, now the Metric Halo unit works just fine.

Good luck
