Apogee Duet (1) not working on Mavericks

I had been on Snow Leopard and Duet worked fine. Upgraded to Mavericks, now it does not.

I plug it in initially (after reboot) and sound comes through the Duet. If I touch any volume control, the sound cuts out. In Maestro, the controls are all very finnecky, can't select any options. If I unplug and replug, still no sound comes through. Assuming it's a problem with Maestro compatability, but I've heard that Mavericks isn't really playing nicely with other non-apple hardware either. Suggestions?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Have you checked with the Apogee folks? Perhaps they have updated drivers?

The only thing you and I are both using the same is the TB to FW adapter. Im gonna go out tomorrow and see about a USB 3 to FW adapter and see if there is any difference.

10.9.2 has not helped me.

I have a Duet Firewire. My iMac does not even recognize it as plugged in.

I'm using a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter bought from the Apple store to connect.

There is no Fusion drive.

Did you guys download the newest firmware updates that addressed these issues? I know there was already a mavericks update, but they have an even newer one since then. Go to apogee.com/downloads, I ran into no problems since doing these updates.

My imac wasn't recognizing my duet iOS when I first got it few months ago either but it recognized it today after downloading the newest firmware and software updates along with 10.9.2, weird it's still not working for some of you.
