Remove unrelated software and drivers
The presence of drivers for other FireWire devices and other audio
devices, even though they are not actively connected, may be a
cause of system trouble. Consider stripping down your computer to
be solely music-oriented. A Computer that has seen many
generations of audio interface may need to have its OS cleanly
reinstalled to work reliably.
