So, a few months ago I purchased a Firepod. Im using with my 6 month old MacBook. Worked like a charm for a while. But now, for the last several weeks I get HORRIBLE latency issues, drop outs, crackles, etc.... I have read 30 + pages of forums with no idea of what to do. I'm using it with Ableton Live 6. If I unplug the Firepod and use just the MacBook built in audio card, no problems, works like a charm. With latency, it has to be somewhere around 900ms to work. Anything below makes it freak out... if I go up to 2000+ms it freaks out also.
I have tried a different firewire cable.
Turning off multi processor support in Ableton Live.
Turning off the airport/bluetooth
Tried going into audiomidi setup and setting clock source from "device" to "mac" and then back to "device."
Still, the problem persists. Has ruined multiple sessions... Can't deal with this any longer. Bummed out because otherwise, I love the Firepod. Just can't stand to be crippled any longer.
Any additional insights/ideas? THANKS!
