firewire dropping audio

Mac Mini i7 16GB ram 500GB ss hd

Mavericks 10.9.2

Logic Pro X 10.0.6

Firewire out to Mackie 1640i mixing board

Audio drops out completely...

VIrtual synths, Drums and audio files VU meters show activity

External synths keep playing with audio (they're external)

But everything IN THE BOX is silent - no audio out via firewire.

A restart of Logic will clear it - but after a while (and several restarts of Logic) I have to reboot the Mac.

This did not happen prior to upgrading to Mavericks- everything worked perfectly.

I've read on other boards people are having trouble with firewire and other audio devices.

Any help? Suggestions?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Mackie have not released 10.9 (Mavericks) compatible drivers... which is probably why you are having such an issue.

You can downgrade back to to your previous OS X configuration (You did make full backups before you upgraded to Mavericks, yes?) .. or wait to see when/if Mackie update their drivers... and based on past history.. it may well be more of a case of if rather than when unfortunately.
