Click here to return to the 'Replace the M-Audio Transit USB soundcard's drivers' hint |
Haha, I have an M-Audio mobile pre for use in GarageBand that acts as my main soundcard in OSX and for no good reason will just stop working (So Sleep Involved) and Like the hint above if I unplug and replug it will lock the system. Only a reboot has fixed the problem. Has anyone else had these problems with the mobile pre?

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'.
I have Sonica Theater, and M-Audio's drivers made my system extremely unstable. I had constant freezes, sound problems and so on. I emailed M-Audio many times and asked them how to remove the drivers from my system. They responded (after a while), but never game me an answer on how to uninstall the driver, instead I things such as 'we cannot reproduce your problem', 'check that you are running the latest software'...
So I reinstalled Panther from Scratch and never installed any M-Audio drivers since. Panther recognizes Sonica Theater...and of course I cannot customize the speakers' settings, but at least the stability of my system is back.
Even though M-Audio says on their site that their drivers are compatible, I had to find out the hard way, that they have no clue...and probbaly will not even try to fix their software. Just see if their product is supported by the OS, and if so use it...otherwise be prepared for a long, and painful journey.
Still waiting for a driver update for the Sonica that will remember settings in the System Preferences pane as well. They seem to think that having TruSound, Dialog Enhancement and TruBass turned back on whenever the device is plugged is what everyone obviously wants.
Ahhh! So I am not the only one with this problem.
So the M-Audio support lied to me ('Never heard of this'). Will never ever buy something from these people!
But this hint is great! One less Kernel Extension and PrefPane to think of.
i've gone through the same tedious lies and nonsense from m-audio since buying a transit in february. these crooks advertise full panther compatibility and have close to none.
there are no user forums at m-audio and for good reason.
niels larsen the guy in charge of the UK division and a self proclaimed vice president of the company happily jots off threats of solicitors and legal counsel if you press too hard for resolution.
in my case, after three months of incompetent tech support from a chap named richard connor, i wanted either working drivers or a refund. neither was forthcoming.
i would suggest giving edirol (edirol.com) a try (the UA-1X and UA-1D use the native drivers out of the box) for simple high quality audio out of your mac.
buying an m-audio transit was one of the worst computer-related purchases i've ever made.
stay away, o friend, stay away.
the transit does work more reliably by following this hint. still kernel panics if you launch Virtual PC.
if anybody gets it to work with VPC running let me know (btw, i could live without sound from the PC but no more m-audio kernel panics please).
M-Audio just released a new version of the driver (1.5.9). So far works ok.

I'll post my feedback here if there will be any problems again.
I tried removing the M-Audio Transit drivers, but you can no longer get AC3 (digital dolby) audio out of iDVD, which is the main reason I bought Transit. Everything else works just fine with their drivers removed. The main problem I am having with my iBook G4 and Transit, is if you restart the iBook, Transit disappears from the Sound Control Panel. The only way to get it back is to unplug/replug the USB cable. M-Audio support told me they do not have an iBook to verify this bug with. They suggested that I 'download the Boot ROM for my system' (this is a Mac, not a PC???). Who is doing the tech support here? Will someone please send them an iBook to verify this is a bug that needs fixing. I have seen others with iBooks with similar problems. This is with 1.5.9.
After several long years of plug 'n pray whenever I plug the Transit in to my Powerbook, I stumble across this, and whaddaya know, it works!
I have determined an alternative though to the technique described, that's easier (this assumes you already have M-Audio's drivers properly installed):
Go to the folder /Library/StartupItems/ and remove the folder 'MAudioTransitUSB' from there (you'll need admin privileges), and you're good to go. Just restart, and your computer won't freeze if you plug the Transit in a second time.
This technique also has the advantage of leaving the Preference Pane in tact, which means you can turn on the AC3 passthrough mode to listen to DVDs in surround sound (but you'll have to reset this every time you remove/insert the Transit, but at least it doesn't crash).
