I'm wondering if there are still issues with the audiofire2 and the newest Macbook Pro laptops (2.4ghz Penryn, specifically)...

I'm basically looking at both the Audiofire2 and the Presonus Firebox, because I need to have that separate headphone out and I need at least a line/rca in for less than $300usd. It seems like I'm headed for issues no matter what I choose - usb version of what I need doesn't seem to exist, and other firewire devices are just too expensive for me at this point.
I'm sorry - I don't mean to hi-jack the thread ... perhaps I'll create another....

heh,

i guess i should have concluded this thread so i would not alarm new echo users
so...

currently,
with echo audio firmware 4.6 and osx 10.5.2
(or any other 10.5 from my experience)
i have none of the previously reported issues

im very sorry that my delay in clarifying that has caused any alarm to other users

Hi

I have recently set up my new MBP with the audiofire 2.
with echo audio firmware 4.8 and osx10.5.2

everything is fine untill about 30/40min sometimes longer where playback becomes distorted and crackles and popping sounds can be heard.

Is this the same problem as expressed before...?
What do i do to fix it...?

Do i need the SDK driver to fix this...?

Please help.

i have been using my af4 with all flavors of leopard cat
without any issues

something like you describe only happens to me when there is some sample rate conflict when some silly alarm sound plays (like im apps)

Are there still issues with the Echo Audiofire 2 interface and Macbook Pro.

I just bought a refurb Macbook Pro and I'm in the market for an inexpensive audio/midi interface. I just want to check in with you Echo users and see if the issues are sorted out and know whether or not I can buy with confidence.

Thanks
