sm_dogtown Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hello out there, I am in need of some advice or help from anybody that knows about this issue. I have recently had a friend build me a hackintosh that works perfectly except for one issue that I cant seem to fix. I have an M-Audio firewire interface that I record music with. I installed the driver for 10.6.3 64bit version, when I plug in the device into the firewire, OSX won't recognize the device as plugged in..the interface powers on so I know that the firewire port works..could this be a driver issue? Has anybody had any luck with m-audio FW devices running on snow leopard? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ruger42 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Are you plugging in the M-Audio interface while the computer/OSX is already running? If so you should read this: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.faq&ID=c9d161aac920b52a508de3167730a7ae If not then I'm not really sure, maybe try booting into 32-bit mode as a test to see if it works...

Thanks for the reply ruger42, I have tried plugging it in while running and on startup, neither work. I dont think its the firewire hotswap issue, because it still works fine on my macbook pro. I think I might have to boot into 32bit mode..how do i do that btw? Thanks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark I'm not sure what bootloader you're using, but if you use both of these boot flags you'll be covered: arch=i386 -x32 or you could add them to com.apple.Boot.plist: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386 -x32</string> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
