have you checked for any new drivers?

yeah, its supposed to just install the drivers automatically which it did when i started using it with my macbook but when i hook it up to my new imac it doesnt do anything. there're no drivers on their site to download for mac, theyre all for windows.

i read about others who have had this/similar problems w/ this interface and snow leopard but got it to work so yeah i'll keep trying to figure it out.

Have you thought about contacting the Edirol support?

I m running Snow Leopard and Live 8.0.9.... and to be honest I have seriously less crashed than with the 8.0.5 and previous.

But I will wait until upgrading to 8.1.1

yeah Patrick, ive emailed their support. I'm waiting on a reply.

funny thing is, i kinda need a new audio interface anyway, but not like this. not like this...

i guess i will see how snow leopard works with my software soon enough.
i probably need to upgrade some programs anyway, im still on 8.0.5 live
I read so much bad about the 8.1.1 release, so I would stay on 8.0.5 if I were you until a new release is out...
As far as I remember Ableton don't recommend 8.1.1 to be used at gigs..
having so many crashes lately with Ableton 8.0.6 that I just went back to logic for a while
I'm on 8.0.4, and experienced my first Ableton crash ever, 2 weeks ago.
Besides this one crash, it's been working rock solid!

think it's more of a combination of things really, Massive and Ableton don't seem to like each other much. Unfortunately I work mostly with Massive to make tunes so deciding which one had to change was easy.
Now making everything in Logic and everything works fine... software

Few problems here also with Massive, often when I load a preset Ableton crashed !!!
