Is anyone running a MOTU firewire card with their hackintosh? I'm having some troubles related to my Ultralite. It runs perfectly but when I'm using it I have crashes and when it's off I don't.

Hi there, i'll buy the motu ultralite for Christmas. I'm trying to build a hackintosh for music production for that soundboard and now I've readed this!! I'm scared... fb* what version of OSX are using? Have you tryed to install another firewire drivers or another version of OSX86???

Hello

My system:

Asrock 775dual-vsta
intel e6400
nvidia 7300gt
2gb ddr2 ram
pci firewire card.


I think my firewire pci card may be the problem, not sure yet.

It does not crash all the time.

Have tried 10.4.9 uphuck and 10.4.10 XxX.

Will try Leopard soon. I'll let you know how it goes.

What is crashing ?
the finder or the audio application you are using
I've never got working DP 5 on a Hackintosh nor in Tiger neither in Leopard

It varies. One situation I can reproduce every time is: running Logic 8, I try to bounce a project that is just audio, no instruments. It's a long project, over 1 hour. At some point during the bounce Logic locks up with spinning beachball, after a while it takes out the whole system. Mouse moves but nothing works.

If I use a usb soundcard instead it bounces fine.

Hi,
I'm running Moto828 Firewire without any problem.
My Logic 8 works fine, only a few 3th party plugs
don't work (eg. Izotope..)
10.4.10.
MSI 975X
X1950 video.
M-Audio Midi Midisport 4x4 (no problem)

Crashes in leopard.

I've just ordered a new firewire card, hopefully that will fix the problem

UPDATE:

I bought a new motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

I'm now running Logic Pro 8, Leopard 10.5.1 with EFI

No crashes, running perfectly

working with motu 828 mkII with logic in 10.4

Not firewire, but MOTU PCIe 424 interface card works perfectly.

Check my sig, everything works perfectly.(audio-wise, haven't bothered with ethernet) Gigabyte ftw.

motu 828mk2 working perfectly on 10.5 with Logic audio on my system, check specs in my sig

MOTU 828MKII, please someone buy me one of these for Christmas

OMG!
check wich chipset do u have for your firewire port if is TEXAS INSTRUMENTS motu will wrks fine....always TEXAS INSTRUMENTS for mac!

Anyone know if the non-express version of the PCI-424 will work under OSX86?

^ i'm guessing it would. i have motu 828 mk3 working perfectly with 10.5.

gigabyte mobo ftw !!!

gigabyte rulezzzzzz

I've problem with my motu ultralite....
It's crashes many times, distorted sound sometimes muted in this case i cant do anything only the restart helps.
I tried many drivers like the latest one 1.4.9 and i tried several old ones like 1.4.1...1.4.4 with the same result.
The firmware is 1.15.
I'd like to use for audio recording but its crap this way.
With windows i didnt have this problem.
Anybody solved this thing with motu?
Pls let me know and help me if you have any ideas because soon im going 2 mad...  
im working on it for weeks now.....
