My experiences with M-Audio has always been lame.
Lame, Lame, Lame (and not the “good” lame one finds in their Lib).
When I last spoke with tech support, the kid was stoned out of his mind…”uh, yo, dude, ummmmm, uhhhh, wait, what? Sorry- but what was the product?, oh, no. I mean problem? oh, man…” (actual recorded transcript). So, pardon me for not taking this company very seriously.
On the other hand:
MOTU ROCKS!!!
Sure they have thier problems, but they SOLVE most of them.

M-Audio?
[insert laugh track here]
Not even “pebbles”
or “sand”…
(maybe mud is more fitting).

I was able to get my FireWire 1814 to (mostly) work last night. I posted how I did it here:

YMMV. I assume something similar will work for the 410. Word from M-Audio support is that there is NO ETA, but that qualifying Leopard is their highest priority (which I think is BS, since they’ve dropped a Vista driver, and several USB things but not this…)

Hi
I have a problem with M Audio 410. i is not working under leopard 10.5. M Audio is supposed to be a good product but it seem that it take a while to move with the technology.

@Jakob:

What you’re experiencing is called a kernel panic, and it’s the Mac OS X equivalent of a Windows Blue Screen of Death. When you see that screen, something’s gone wrong from which the OS cannot recover, and your only option is to reboot. It sucks to see, for sure, but that’s what it is.

I have this weird problem with my Firewire Audiophile. After installing Leopard, when I start my Macbook Pro a small notice pops up in the left lower corner saying it’s installing new firmware. Then this semi-opaque “curtain” rolls down over the entire screen and shows a dialog box prompting me to restart my computer by holding down the on/off button for a few seconds. This just results in my mac cutting power, not shutting down properly, and next time I start I have the same problem. I’m new to Mac, but this Vista-style intervention method, where absolute nothing is clickable behind the “curtain” scares me. Anyone have similar experiences?

Likewise, my M-Audio MIDISPORT4×4 stopped working under Leopard. I spoke to a tech at M-Audio this morning (12/06/07) and he had no information about the release of updated drivers. He couldn’t even tell me if their Beta Test program included drivers for the product line. In strong contrast, MOTU seems to have their act together (no issues with the 828MkII interface on Leopard).

Got the same problem with my Ozone. There’s no signal after installing Leopard. Strange enuff my TriggerFinger does work.
I wonder how long its gonna take them for these drivers. Will never purchase m-audio hardware again..lazy bastards!

maz, i’ve done just about everything i could to get my torq and connectiv working on leopard, but i’ve had no luck whatsoever. i haven’t tried using my trigger finger yet, but i’m not optimistic given others’ experience on this comment page. i’ve always been a fan of m-audio, but my faith is dwindling as i write this, i’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll come through soon
