I have been using a m-audio firewire 410 for a while now and loving it. I use it for recording and audio output on my powerbook g4 1.5 GHz. When just the other day I tried to play a song in iTunes and nothing played. The weird thing is when I double click a song the progress bar does not move, kinda like if it were paused, but its not. So I tried to restart the computer which did nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest drivers, repaired permissions, and finally I tried a clean install of the OS. There is still no sound output from the firewire 410 at all, in any program. I also does not accept any midi data. The light on the front is solid blue which makes me think that the connection and hardware is fine but I don't know.

I have only tried the 1.5.3 osx driver, should I try using an older version? Or is that pointless? Any help is greatly appreciated.

We need to know what os version you are running....if you are on 10.3.9, you need the 1.5 driver, not 1.53.

Make sure when you uninstall the firewire 410, you follow m-audios explicit instructions on this procedure. Same with reinstalling it...lots of restarting and shutting down etc., without the device actually connected.

I am using 10.4.2, and I do believe that I followed the uninstall instructions. Just in case I am going to try an uninstall/reinstall one more time.

uninstalled/reinstalled one more time and now it works. thanks for the help
