I was dying laughing reading this. I couldn't stop. I feel your pain.

Forgot to mention I had the same issues as you describe and found resetting the 410 to be a solution most of the time.

Hear you loud and clear. My 410 only works if I reset it before each session then manually reload all my settings, and even then I need to switch off my imac and reconnect the 410 a few times. When it's working it's a good unit but it seems infested with bugs. It also causes my imac to require a restart from time to time so always back up as you go. There's a market out there for a reliable interface, but the 410 ain't it.

Here's what I did, I think this should help you guys out:#1: Take a screwdriver and insert it into every orifice of that box while rotating your hand in large clockwise motions.#2. Urinate on it.#3. Mail it to M-audio with a thank you note.

I have the same problems with my firewire 410 like you ! Is it better when I purchase an USB interface ?

I have a Macbook pro and and older G4 tower. There are issues with the Firewire ports on both of these. The MetricHalo unit wouldn't even start, and the Firebox and RME Fireface had a strange high pitched hiss. My solution was to buy a powered firewire bus, and plug the interface into there. Or, daisy chain it through an external firewire hard drive. M-audio is pretty budget equipment, so i wouldn't be surprised if there were further issues. Hope this helps.
