Consecutive Kernel Panic

Can someone help diagnose? I have had several kernel panics this month, all with the same crash log.


Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

As mentioned, you panic occurred in the Audio drivers.

      Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
         com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily(206.5)
            dependency: com.apple.vecLib.kext(1.2.0)
         com.apple.driver.AppleUSBAudio(312.6)
            dependency: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBHostMergeProperties(1.2)
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily(206.5)
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily(1.2)


You have the following kernel extensions installed, all except Dropbox seem to be involved in audio.

com.getdropbox.dropbox.kext	1.11.1
com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower	2
com.Sonarworks.driver.Sonarworks	1.8.11
com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio	4.3.1 47542
com.zerodebug.AudioMuxDriver	3
com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System	9.12.1
com.RME.driver.FirefaceAudioDriver	3.39


There is a very good chance one of these kernel extensions is sticking its fingers into kernel data structures that causes the Apple audio drivers to panic your system.
