"Unexpectedly quits" problem

Lee Ving · Post by **Lee Ving** » Fri May 14, 2004 8:59 pm

I am a pc to mac defector. I have only pro tools and Live on the system and I use no internet connections at this time. Live 3 crashes constantly to the point of uselessness. I called the help number and was told to download the updates which I did correctly. I then removed all Live 3.0 files, folders etc. The program still will not work. Furthermore, if these posts are on the website then why did the help desk simply tell me that the system is " quirky" with osx? I am obviously not the only user with this problem and the help desk could have let me know this instead of making this my problem and not their own. I am very disappointed in this product and more so in Ableton. Thank you for your nonreturnable unusable program.

i had similar problems. i solved them by using only the internal sound card, not the m-box as my sound card. it didn't like that i guess.

I will try the internal sound card and see what happens. This program rocks when I can get it to work! Ill keep plugging away! Thanks!

I have had identical problems. I have found though that Live is totally stable when using rewire in protools. So Mbox can't be the problem, hmmm.......

Problem with Mbox is digidesign's coreaudio drivers not fully supporting Live 3.

it sucks.

I have emailed Digidesign, and their response was that they "have no plans on supporting Live 3 in the immediate future".

pretty lame I reckon.

can Ableton do anything about it?

hi Kleine,

I have read all the stuff in the FAQ's, and searched the forums for all stuff related to M-box,and still have had little joy with it.

I actually upgraded from the digidesign version to Version 3, and have now found the m-box to be very tempremental, with regular crashing.

am i right in saying that it is Digidesign's Core Audio driver's that are the problem? or is there a solution I have not found.

Live works great with the internal sound card, but is working only around 30% of the time for me with the m-box.

any word or advice from Ableton would be very much appreciated.

regards,
am

Hello am,

I have experienced similar problems on my testing machine. It´s difficult to pinpoint the problem exactly..
The best way to go seems to be a de- and re-install of the CoreAudio driver....

I'll give that a go.

Hi, I have had the exact same problems with my mbox and Live 3. Funny thing is, live digi edition worked perfectly with the mbox and now live 3 will barely open when the audio engine is set to the mbox??. The problem is obviously with digidesign's coreaudio driver. live 3 operates perfectly when using the built-in audio on my g5 (but then i can't use the mbox to record!!).

live tech support has been very helpful, though i'm not sure if they understand the severity of this coreaudio issue. last they told me after trying a number of things was to reinstall pro tools completely to make sure the coreaudio is installed properly in conjunction with live 3. we'll see if it works.

best, DS

Does this mean that in order to use Live 3.04 with an Mbox, I need to switch to the "digidesign edition"?? I had no problems at all in Jaguar but with Panther, Live keeps "quitting".

Hi Everybody

You may have already solved this problem... but DS posted a message in this category called:

New CoreAudio support for Live 3.x in OS X!!!

in which he pointed out that the "unexpected quit" can be solved by using Digidesign Core Audio Driver 6.5 with MacosX. I tried it and it worked. It might not work for everybody with different set-ups but It does seem to be a driver issue (and not just a lack of RAM as I was told).

Hope this helps

Mark

downloading the core driver update 6.5.1 from the digidesign site fixed my problem completely. I have not had Live Crash in 3 days ( it had crashed 48 times the week prior to the download.) Go to the digidesign site and find this download!
