Hey Chris,
Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in your frustration
with Digidesign. Indeed, their drivers are the WORST. I have the
Digi-001 and the DD coders developed the driver so that your mac NEVER
GOES TO SLEEP. I totally cripples a feature of Mac OS X. As a result,
I had to write a little app (DigiSleep Enabler
http://www.xmidi.com/digisleep.html) that removes their drivers and
reinstalls automatically. I've had over 100 downloads from people from
the Digi forum and at least 20 emails from people telling me thanks for
"fixing" Digi's problem. I've been on their customer support trying to
list this as a bug and they simply tell me it is "expected behavior"
for their driver. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see a
company that is so INCONSIDERATE of the OS that it is running on.
And as you have noticed, their drivers (despite the claim of working
with all apps) are only reliable with PT. Within Cubase, the audio
drops out randomly and frequently.
It seems to me that if a company is going to say that they've released
a CoreAudio driver, that it should meet some minimum requirements, pass
some standard test supplied by Apple. Digidesign throws around that
phrase almost as a marketing tool because their "CoreAudio Drivers"
only seem to work within PT.
