Replace the M-Audio Transit USB soundcard's drivers
Authored by: cobalty on May 18, '04 11:28:03AM

In a similar note, I have a M-Audio Sonica that was broken by the 10.3.3 update. I cannot get opitcal audio out anymore. Had a similar experiance with customer support. We're looking at it and will eventually come out with a driver. Their excuse was that 10.3.3 was extremely new and they hadn't had a chance to test it. My thoughts on that, gee you think that you would have tested the beta that Apple so nicely provides to third party developers. You think this hint would get my sonica working as well?

Just give it a try. It looks like Sonica uses FirmwareLoader too, so the hint should apply. Transit has optical out, but I never used it and don't know if it still works with that generic driver.

following your superb hint, my optical out is now working a treat - it was horrendous before under m-audio drivers - totally unusable! Thanks for bringing me much joy!

Mine works in 10.3.3.

But sometimes I have audio drop outs, maybe because of high CPU load.

Anyway M-Audio support is non-existent. If Sonica werent' the only USB Audio Hardware for Macs with Digital Out to connect iTunes and Sony Amplifier I never ever would buy anything from them again.

So now I am rid of this awful driver. Every time I rebooted my Mac I had to turn oft the audio "enhancment" features in the PrefPane.

This is the best hint ever!!!

I did not use a package manager (it installs quite a lot things in /usr and overwrites tar something which I do not like) to remove the M-Audio driver. I just went into /Library/PrefPanes, /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/Extensions and removed the three M-Audio parts.

The I rebooted and had to reconfigure Detour (great shareware to route only iTunes to your amplifier) because Sonica is now called "Sonica" and no longer "M-Sonica".
