It's a problem not only on the firebox but on all interface on firewire, and sometimes the nap does the trick…
Not that the interface makers and Apple are very talkative about this…

Here, my friends, are two applescripts i wrote to turn nap on and off with one click - also u can save the off one as an application and plop in your startup items if u wish. Note - you must be an admin user for these to work.
To turn off nap copy and paste this code snippet into script editor, replacing your_password with, well - your password! (leave the quotes intact). Then save as an application: CODE set tasks to {"hwprefs cpu_nap={false}"} do shell script tasks password "your_password" with administrator privileges To turn nap back on do the same with this snippet of code: CODE set tasks to {"hwprefs cpu_nap={true}"} do shell script tasks password "your_password" with administrator privileges enjoy, Vid -------------------- -Arvid •• Squish the Squid Productions, Modest Machine

arvidtp, Thank you for the scrips.
To all, to summarize: - 1st, return your Firebox for another unit. - 2nd, check your charging plug. - 3rd, activate (turn off) napping (do you need CHUD for this, even with arvidtp's scripts?) - 4th, turn off the Airport card (is this really necessary?) - 6th, check Presonus' FAQs - 5th, return your Firebox again  Hopefully, this got it. BTW, here's the latest version of CHUD for 10.4 (31.7MB): ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/.../CHUD_4.4.4.dmg |

Hey arvidtp
thanx! will theses scripts work batter than CHUD? I used my Firebox 2-days ago to record a Greg Brown Show here in toewn and I was plagued by clicking and poping I have found that folks here are way more helpful than at the presonus forums I have done every thing to test my firebox, I can usually 90% of the time to get it to work fine at home but in the field (where it is critical) I have click and pop issues! grrrrrr I am strongly considering "upgrading to a MOTU Ultra lite and will search the forums here to see how well they seem to be interfacing with other Mac's thanx again ArchivalAudio QUOTE (arvidtp @ Sat 21 Oct 2006, 18:58)  Here, my friends, are two applescripts i wrote to turn nap on and off with one click - also u can save the off one as an application and plop in your startup items if u wish.

these scripts do not replace CHUD - they simply automate it. You still must install CHUD. I have the nap-off script as a startup item.
