Hi,
I'm not sure where to ask this question but I thought I'd try here. I run Logic Pro 8 (8.02) on a new intel iMac that I purchased just before the newest ones came out. (24", 2.8, 4 gigs ram, OS 10.5.6). I use an Edirol FA-66 for audio capture and midi. On my previous machine (an older intel iMac running 10.4.11) I used the same interface with no problems. On the new machine, however, I get a lot of clicking and popping sounds both when I'm using Logic and when I'm using other applications. Apple techs have installed a new logic board and a new power supply on this mac and while these actions have solved other issues, the clicking and popping sounds remain. Roland has not released any new Leopard drivers for the FA-66, and the fact that the clicking and popping occurs outside and well as inside Logic seems to rule out a buffer setting issue. I've replaced the firewire cable and this had no effect. It seems a bit strange to me that the FA-66 would choose the moment I plugged it into a new computer to stop working properly. I also have G-Tech firewire hard drive plugged into this machine and that seems to be working normally, which I'm guessing would rule out a problem with the iMac's internal firewire card. Both that drive and the FA-66 were also plugged into my old machine and worked fine. I'm afraid of buying a new interface or fixing the current one, in case this is another issue but I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg
