sirdemonbrown Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 hey! i am getting pretty terrible digital crackles from my Apogee Ensemble pro audio device. It is connected via firewire. it worked flawlessly before. i just did a major jump from Leo4All v3 - 10.5.2 to iDeneb Combo 10.5.7 upgrade. after experiencing audio problems, i decided to update to 10.5.8 using iDeneb's 10.5.8 updater. i am now using Qoopz 9.8 kernel which i have to say has made my system very zippy! but alas, my problem still exists. i have a P4 530 3 ghz chip in an ASUS P5WD2 Premium board. Intel 955X chipset. do i need to do some .kext fiddling? i haven't changed any kexts since updating from 10.5.2 > 10.5.7 > 10.5.8 any ideas? thanx! sir demon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180073-apogee-ensemble-firewire-crackles-after-update-to-1058-firewire-full-secure-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdemonbrown Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 i thought i should note that during the boot process i get this message: "FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to to full-secure" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180073-apogee-ensemble-firewire-crackles-after-update-to-1058-firewire-full-secure-mode/#findComment-1227793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdemonbrown Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 after snooping around the last couple of days, i have figured out that the problem does indeed lie with the firewire defaulting to full-secure mode. i have tried the following: installed Chameleon 2.0 RC2 installed AnV's AppleSMBIOS.kext installed AnV's 9.8 kernel bought a PCIe firewire card with a Lucent 5091 chipset. found out my motherboard firewire chip is a TI 8023. help!
