hey there,

i've got a similair problem: since using my toneport/gearbox-gold-plugin and not my edirol fa66 (works without drivers) as audio-i/o the sound is ALWAYS distorted, when i plug in the toneport. only restarting my macbook pro with plugged in toneport works. but when i pull the plug and plug it in again sound becomes distorted. can you please help me?

I'm not trying to figure out the problem - that's Line6's job.

I'm trying to decide on a replacement audio interface, maybe a Firewire box. Then the POD becomes a glorified iLok for POD Farm.

I'm actually a bit shocked that this forum is the only technical support offered! I love the interface and gearbox, but it will have to go if this isn't solved pretty soon....

Weirdly it hasn't happened once today and I've been in a session since 9.30 this morning!

Well I'm on a Mac Pro, about 4 months old. 8-Core, 6GB RAM. When I put it to sleep and then wake it up it still doesn'y work! Only restarting it helps.

Oh, and it's happened 5 times today already!

So, I was just listening to music through iTunes, and then I go to open Logic whilst its playing, and it blips slightly, and now it is doing the distorted thing every second. I have turned logic off, but it is still doing it.

 

So its definitely something to do with the audio routing or something?!

 

line6 help me out.

This is not a Line6 issue. That's CoreAudio contention between Logic and iTunes. Starting up Logic with any other audio application running (including iTunes) is not recommended.

No, what I said was that putting it to sleep DOESN'T help. I'm not putting it to sleep for any other reason.I'm in Logic and it just starts happening. I'm not opening iTunes or any other audio app.

I'm in one project and it's fine and then I'll open another project and it'll be un-usable until I restart the machine. Some days it doesn't do it at all some days it happen 6 or 7 times. And it only happens through the Line 6 device. If I switch it to the built in line out or headphones or built it speaker the sound is fine. When I go back to the UX2 it's terrible.

I can't see how it's an Apple issue when the UX2 is the only thing it's affecting...

I do have some sample libraries on an external drive, but the project I'm working on at the moment doesn't use these. I'm scoring a TV show, so each project is a diferent cue within the show. I often use one cue as a basis for another, so sometimes there is literally no difference between the projects as I'm opening one and saving it as another before adapting it. One project will work fine. I'll then open another one and it goes funny!

It does happen occasionally when I use an EXS instrument where the library is on my external drive, but it happens equally often when I'm not using the external drive at all! It's confusing all right.

Weirdly, it often happens more often when I've just updated the Line 6 drivers....
