Duet loves to crash

20 Mar

UPDATE 5/26: Apogee has a new release of the firewire driver that fixes the issue!

All is not well with my shiny new Apogee Duet.

It’s causing kernel panics all too often. Plugging it in while the computer is on is the sure fire way. It also seems to have issues waking from sleep, crashing 60%+. I don’t appear to be alone on this issue, nor is it limited to the Duet.  Mailed support 9 days ago with my latest info, except for a cursory response nothing yet.  Pulling 50% of my RAM doesn’t sound like a good idea. I really hope Apogee and Apple figure this out soon. It’s a wonderful device that I like more and more as I use it, the crashes are killing me though.

  • Update from tech support. They are aware of the issue, apparently it's hard to reproduce. Don't know when it's going to be fixed.

    Acknowledgment goes a long way. So, do I disable sleeping on my computer? Yeah, probably.
  • At least you know the cause of your computer woes now. Doesn't sound good though, some of those posts are over 3 months old and this hasn't been resolved yet? Maybe not enough people are making noise.
