If you have Mountain Lion, it is a known issue that Line6 is working on.

hi guys

i have found running pod farm, and muting the output in pod farm whilst usuing garageband and amplitube stops the crackling. you need to open pod farm first, can't guarentee it works for everyone, but it works for me and my pod ux1

Hey there,

Same problem here. Do you guys have any news about this?

OK.. The new driver was released and it didn't fix my problems.

The cracking/poping noise was still appearing during the recordings. It was a big noise and then it cracked for 10 seconds and then stopped. Then it haeppened again and again. I opened a ticket suport for this which is still opened without resolution.

This week my Toneport UX1 gave a new trick: when I connect it to my macbook it goes green for a minute, but the sound of the instrument/mic is zero. Also my USB mouse goes away.

After a minute or two, the light simply goes red and the line 6 device is no longer recognized by the Mac OS X. When I go to Line6 Audio Devices on System Preferences it says "no line 6 product connected".

Please, am I the only one? I'm getting preety tired with this story. This time I'm thinking really serious about buying another product. Can't record anything since Mac 10.8.2 came out.

By the way, I just want to add that the very first thing I did when I heard Mountain Lion was available for my iMac was to go to 1) Amplitube 2) Line 6 to see if they were ready for it before I upgraded. Line 6 website said (and still does say!) that there were no compatibility issues with Mountain Lion. This is a LIE. It may not have been when they first put it out there, or they may have been mistaken, but to keep it on the f*#king website is unconscionable and serves only to anger more and more people every day. 

Still without a solution. They told me to reinstall the problematic old driver (7.1.17) and do that "workarround" with POD Farm 2. It's not working either.

Unfortunately I live in Brazil. All audio devices are extremely expensive here. If I could go arround the block and spend U$ 99 on a new one I think I would do that today.

Sad.

Ok, I have an open suport ticket about since Sep. 21.

Today I updated with this message:

"Hugo,

On my behalf and of other customers, I want to ask you and Line6 to put the situation on this problem on the topics related. Everyday I see new people complaining and you guys never show up to tell us what this big problem is. It won't take more than 10 minutes of your day to give a status of this solution. Please, transparency is the only thing that could relieve this tension.

I suggest that you tell us about:

- What happened? What does your team know about this incompatibility? Is there something that Apple could do to help? How big is this thing?

- How many employees do you have working on this and how much time/day?

- Is there something we could do to help?

- What is the kind of assistant that Line6 will provide in case of not fixing this?

The topics that are discussing about this subjects are:

Please answer us. Talk to us. It's been more than 3 months. The first topic about this same problem is from JULY! We demand transparency and conversation.

Thank you,

Pedro"

I hope this will help at least about the conversation beetween Line6 and us.

Greetings from Brazil.

I had the same issues and couldn't sit around waiting for Line 6 to help so tried a few things and I have some solutions

SOLUTION 1: Apogee One purchased and installed - works fine!

SOLUTION 2: I used time machine and rolled back to Snow Leopard.  UX2 now working as normal.  Not ideal though because data added to apps such as Aperture during the Mountain Lion period was not accessible, so.....

SOLUTION 3: Created a 60Gb partition on my Macintosh HD. Made a clean install of Mountain Lion on the partition.  Downloaded most recent drivers (Sept 2012) and the UX2 is now working as normal for the last week and no signs of distortion. No other 3rd party apps such as Spotify, Skype, Flip4Mac, RealPlayer, LogMeIn were installed in the partition - just ML and Line6. The bare minimum for making music. Likelihood is that the problems are caused by either upgrading from previous OS to ML, upgrading from previous Line 6 drivers, conflicts with other apps.

I hope this helps some of you

Hey guys, I'm coming to say goodbye! Thanks a lot for the company these months. I'm moving to a new device, new life. It's been more than 6 months without a minute recorded without those explosion in my ear and I got pretty tired of it.

Hope you guys make a little money to escape from this too.

Here is the end of my suport ticket that was opened on Sep 21th:

DEAR HUGO,

Didn't work.

First when I tried to update using Monkey the app was shuting down (tried to reboot the system a lot times...) I'm sending it atached.

Then I installed the new driver. Recorded for 5 minuts and then it exploded once again with that big noise that goes fading away in 30 seconds. After it's gone when I say something on the mic it has a little pop too.

And this was the end of the line for me. The end of Line6 2. I'm really impressed with the **** support you and your crew gave me and the other users.

Not only took more than 6 months to release a new driver but there was the lack of transparency and the absence of true information for us.

You may shut this support ticket down because I'm throwing this device on the trash now. I'll never buy Line6 products and will try to tell everyone about this pleasant story we had.

So long, thanks for nothing.
