snow leopard and digi coreaudio?

If you are referring to Digidesign compatibility ... why don't you check the digidesign forum..or support?

Digidesign takes sometime with updates related to OS X

Wait until Digidesign has an update, and has approved Snow White Kitty for use with their hardware.

Cheers

Digi says to wait although some users have reported PT mostly works. Probably more info at the DUC.

I upgraded to 10.6 yesterday and I can confirm that my Digi Core Audio stopped working (mostly). My Digirack simply stopped showing up as an accessible audio device for the OS. Logic still picks it up and it works flawlessy through my Logic Pro 8, but GarageBand cuts the connection to the Digirack immediately after I select it as my Audio Output in GB's Preferences.
Im really disappointed, because the same happened when I upgraded to Leopard. It wasnt until version 10.5.3 that it started working properly.
Im not sure where the problem lies, but I hope either DigiDesign or Apple fixes the problem soon.

if you work with Digidesign products would should be aware that it takes a while until they release compatible updates to the latest OS X version ......

and of course before updating or upgrading check each company's website or forums for hardware,software etc compatibility....

Hehe..yeah..Im perfectly aware of that...but I was really curious on the OS, so I installed it anyway..and so far it hasnt given me any other inconveniences other than the fact that the audio in iTunes and my browsers need my Creative-card to work. This is highly irrelevant info though...anyway, my last post was to answer threadstarters question through my experiences.

I tried it last night and had to roll back. iTunes and other apps would no longer recognize my M-Box. Bummer.

Yeah my firewire solo doesn't run on snow leopard--the driver package fails to install with a ktext error. This was the latest package, for 10.5.8.

Hey there -- My 003 works fine with Logic as well as PT 8.01. Snow Leopard does not recognize Digi hardware, so no playing iTunes or other non-DAW apps through it. If you can live without those (I can) you'll be fine.

Pro Tools 7 and 8 will often work fine in Snow Leopard but firewire hardware interfaces won't work until new drivers are released.

That's bad. The Digi 002 is a fine tool for recording with Garageband and Logic Studio.
Apple should make it compatible with its software because a lot of people use the Digi 002.
In fact: Pro Tools has made me see that Logic is the best software. Why not help all the musicians who changed from ProTools to Logic Studio and Garageband?
I will not upgrade with Snow Leopard if this issue is not solved.

Mbox firewire won't work, but my USB Mbox mini works fine with PT LE 8.01, and the mini is fine with iTunes as well.

on OSX 10.6.1

I own this card too (nice card), and every time a new OS comes out from Apple headquarters I think to switch to Apogee cards, because now I prefer Logic to compose rather than ProTools LE.

Digidesign releases compatibility updates to new OSX versions always late, with Leopard it takes months and months, but maybe 'cause their hard work on ProTools 8...now they will take less time to go...I hope so.

Apple has no control over the drivers for digidesign hardware, digi is the one who needs to update their drivers for 10.6 compatibility. It will happen, digidesign just tends to be slow to keep up with latest OS versions.
