Noo_123 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have successfully install 10.6.1 on a intel mother board WX58BP. Everything is perfectly working. Right form Ethernet to onboard sound, Display card ( GT7300,256) , sata everything. … Have loaded lots of applications along with Logic 9, Spectrasonics, Kontakt etc. All are working fine. Now the problem is my sound card MOTU firewire MK2 is not working. I have tried installing the latest driver from the site- “MOTU_Audio_Installer-1.4.23.zip”. Tried changing the internal and onboard firewire cards. But avail no success. Anybody have any success story on the same. Please inform.

tomazzzi Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yes the motu drivers aren t 64bit for now. You ll have to wait for an X64 driver Stay tunned on www.motu.com for news about that.

Noo_123 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks Pimpa & tomazzzi for the information . I shall try using arch=i386.

art z Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I too am having the same problem but I did manage to get a borrowed RME Fireface 800 to work without an issue. So, as far as the Motu drivers are you guys sure they're not 64 bit? Intel P45, Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz, 8 GB DDR2 800, GeForce 9800 GTX 512mb.

Beerkex'd Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have been trying to start with arch=i386 to active 32bit but could not. Please help What happened? Try arch=i386 -v -x and if it doesn't boot you should see some kind of error message. You need to provide more details about your installation and your system configuration. It's a good idea to add some minimal information to your signature - like I have in mine.

pangea2003 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hello to everyone, I'm a completely ignorant here but could someone explain me what do I have to do in order to boot with the mentioned arch=i386?? I tried this link in order to boot in32bit and 64bit alternatively and nothing... http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=4716&tag=rbxccnbzd1 The new imac boots in 32bit anyway, am I wrong? I have contacted the MOTU technical Support a million times and I have to say that they've been wasting my last 5 days assuring me that their new driver 1.4.23 for the MOTU Mk2 and Firewire interfaces is fully compatible with Snow Leopard... Any thoughts about this? Thanks!

indraganzo Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi , I have a Motu 424 PCIe card working along with my Motu 2408 mkII on my Gigabyte Ga-EP45T-DS3 System running on OSX 10.6.2... So far there has been no problem or what so ever....... However I have been getting these silly kernel messages from my console happening during boot... which slows the boot time.. 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel Trying to change a collection in the registry 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel Backtrace 0x5004b8 0x5001fe 0x815b468f 0x815b8441 0x815b91f2 0x815b9261 0x815b92b2 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies): 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel com.motu.driver.PCIAudio(1.2.2)@0x815b2000->0x81610fff 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily(1.7.2fc1)@0x814cf000 12/7/09 7:56:17 PM kernel dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6)@0x79c6b000 12/7/09 7:57:01 PM [0x0-0x12012].com.apple.iTunes[171] Child process initialized. 12/7/09 8:04:06 PM com.apple.kextcache[164] MOTUPCIAudioTiger.kext - no dependency found for com.motu.kext.MotuTigerDriver. 12/7/09 8:04:07 PM com.apple.kextcache[164] Prelink failed for com.motu.driver.PCIAudioTiger; omitting from prelinked kernel. 12/7/09 8:04:11 PM com.apple.kextcache[164] Created prelinked kernel /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache_i386.8602B51D. 12/7/09 8:04:39 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[89] (com.apple.Kerberos.renew.plist[195]) Exited with exit code: 1 I wonder if anyone else running 424 card geting similar messages ??? and I am not sure if they are indicating a problem?? everything seems to be working ok.. probably a bug of motu driver it self.... even though motu claims that their new driver 1.4.23 (PCIAudio(1.2.2)) is totally SL ready, I personally don't believe it as so many people (including real mac users) are having problems working motu devices on 10.6.x especially on 64 bits. hope that they fix it soon..... if anyone can enlighten me I would be glad..

boiancs Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 i had this same problem with several peices of audio equipment such as a Motu Interface, A Metric Interface and the UAD 2 DSP cards. None of these guys work in 64 bit mode, so you need to run snow leopard in 32 bit to get them happening. i fixed this problem by going into my extra's folder and change the com.apple.boot.ptlist - i changed the <string>arch=x86_64 ..... from "64" to "32" when i rebooted i was then rebooting in 32 bit mode. you can check to see if your snow leopard in running in 32 bit mode by going to: About this Mac -> More Into. Then click on the software section on the left. You will see "System Software Overview" come up on the right. 2nd from the bottom youll see 64-Bit Kernel and Extensions: No (if your in 32bit mode) or 64-Bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes (if your in 64bit mode) As soon as i got it to say no. then all of a sudden all my gear starting working.

erickuche Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Motu had released a new audio driver (01/04/10) fully compatible with 64-bit , the only issue for Motu users is Digital Performer since last version 7.02 still 32-bit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191593-motu-mk2-sound-card-with-snowleopard-1061/#findComment-1378615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
