Hello,
I know I've seen posts in the past regarding sound issues if you are using an external firewire soundcard/box and an external firewire hd enclosure. However, I purposely bought a firewire 800 external enclosure to avoid this problem. Guess what? I'm having problems. Basically when I try to play something from iTunes (or any app with sound) there is no sound, just several loud pops and then iTunes freezes (the song that is playing just stops - no sound of course).

Setup:
PM G5 dual 2.0 - released last fall
M-Audio Firewire 410 - connected to rear FW 400 port
OWC Mercury Elite Pro HD enclosure - connected to rear FW 800 port

latest version of Tiger; latest iTunes; just reset PRam this morning hoping it would help; I've made sure that the sound settings are at 44.1khz (in audio/midi setup)

The only way it has worked since I hooked up the hd enclosure yesterday has been if I do the following:

1 - turn on FW 800 enclosure
2 - boot PM

If I reboot the PM while hd enclosure is on, I get problems. If I turn on the enclosure after PM is running, problems.

Now, this morning, not even following the above steps 1 & 2 are working; to get to work I'd need to unplug the 410, power down, connect, reboot, and hope. I'm really hoping someone has a solution as there is no way I'm going to power down each night; the drive will just go back before I do that. I just wanted to make use of the FW800 port since I am using all USB ports.

Anyone have any suggestions or help?
