Hi,

I had been using my US-122 with my intel imac for a month when I got a black screen telling me to restart (kernal panic?).

On advice from mac support I did an archive and install. Still no joy.

I am running 10.4.8. The same set up works fine on my girlfriends G4 laptop. She has 10.4.8 and the same driver 3.4.0.

Does anyone have any advice?

My guess is the new tascam driver is having issues with the intel chip.

thanks alot

If it was so, you'd have the problem on the spot from day one.

My guess is something behaves badly in the software. Have you installed anything when it started to do kernel panics?

Could you look in the Console (~/apps/utilities/Console) and tell us what's recorded in system.log et console.log (click on history and select each file to look at them). Post only the parts at the relevant hours of crash, it'll be long, so no need to post everything); If you're in doubt, send me the files. I PM you my email.

I'm Running A Intel iMac With 10.4.8 And Mine Does The Same Fucken Thing!
It Was Working Fine Then BAM!! It's Fucked! I Don't Know What The Fuck To Do!
I Feel Like Throwing The Fucken Thing Of A Cliff!

Thanks for the reply! Real good to know its probably not just my computer/set up.
Is your audio fading in and out and distorted on any application? Is your midi working? Mine is.
I am thinking of just selling it, counting my losses and going with a brand that has good mac driver support and reputation. Unless our tech help friend above can help out.
I hear MOTU have a good name with mac...any thoughts?

cheers

I often hear of the US-122s not working real well with some macs. I have NEVER had a problem with my Mackie Onyx & I understand that Spike is pretty ok. Motu is generally developed intially for the Mac as well so you can't go wrong there either. If you are using an Mac-Intel you really want to make sure that the hardware is compatible first as many interface manufacturers are JUST NOW starting to catch up.

Maybe you could try this... I had problems on my iBook G4 as the green light wouldn't come on... called the company & they said it's supposed to work fine... had the latest upgrade & everything. After a few hours of being frustrated, I plugged in the USB cord from the US 122 directly into the USB port on my laptop. It never worked with it plugged into a USB hub. It has worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now, so try & plug your interface directly into the computer.

Then I upgraded to a MacBook Pro & had the same problem & called Tascam, & they gave me the web page to get the latest upgrade driver for the intel computer OS 10.4 & up. It also works flawlessly.

Here's the way to get to it on the Tascam.com web page:

Go to tascam.com
Go to Products on top of the page & go to Legacy
Go to Computer Products & click on Interfaces/Controllers
Go to the US 122 picture, click on it & go to the download that fits your computer

Hope this helps! Happy recordings!
