| This regards the same problem, but with the Apogee Ensemble. Since the components of the two products are similar (and both Firewire), I have the following to report, and hope it is not completely OT:
Since upgrading to OSX 10.5.1, and now 10.5.2., I am getting frequent kernel panics (descending gray, multi-language reset screens). This did not occur on Tiger. I do not get them at all with Logic 8.01, but sometimes get them when closing Logic and opening Ableton Live 7.02.
It is a mess with the Steinberg apps: with Cubase 4.1.2 and Nuendo 4.1.2. I get a kernel panic in about one of every three starts or restarts of either application.
I have a ticket open with Apogee--and they have told me that this is a known issue (in my case I presume, with the Ensemble) in Macs with more than *2G* of RAM. I have 4G in my Mac Pro quad (2 x dual Xeon 3.0ghz). They suggested removing 2Gs as one possible solution (no way).
I'd be curious if any of you get this separate issue with the Duet (another known problem with the Ensemble): when opening a Steinberg host application (and only Steinberg), the gain resets itself to 100%. An Apogee tech told me that their engineers are working on a workaround, but that this is a Steinberg issue.
I have no issues at all with my RME Fireface 800.
Thanks and regards,
