Kevin,
Can you please report that back to the list? Sounds like a generically
useful bit of knowledge.
Best wishes.

Hey Camron. I'm working on getting my hands on some alternate sigmatell
drivers. According to some folks in the know, part of your problem is a
driver conflict with the onboard sound drivers and the firewire chip. I'm
gonna try and get these, as I want to try them out myself. I'll let you know
what the results are and pass them along.

Hi. Yes, all the forums I've been reading, including apple forums, have
said that the texas instruments chips work great and the new ones are
garbage for audio work. I want to find out if I can get the older chip
installed. Not sure if that is possible but if it is, I'd be willing to pay
for it. I really want to get this working but as it is my only machine
right now, I don't want to have to go through and disable a bunch of things
in the device manager and have to use my headset for speech every time I
want to work in sonar. The old mac book pro is going pretty cheap now and
that does not have this issue from what I've read. However, this machine is
pretty much brand new and I know I'd take a financial beating selling her
just to buy a second hand refurb mac book pro.
How frustrating. I really like this machine, besides this point.
I want to see if the new I macs coming out, or the ones currently for sale,
also have this issue. My dell may be on the way out and I don't know if I
want to get another desktop pc. If this firewire issue was not well, an
issue, I'd be prepared to go mac all the way but because this is such a
wrench in the works right now, I am really on the fence.
Cameron.

Hmm... I don't know. It's an older machine and, well, I have no idea,
really, whether there are issues with particular MacBook FireWire ports. Of
course, Kevin says there is and I trust he's heard that from some reliable
source.
Cheers
