M Audio firewire solo with yosemite - 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.

Hi, I recently bought a new mac mini with yosemite OS. I plugged in my M-audio firewire solo and (after a bit of trouble) finally managed to see it appear in GB. then moments later a dialogue box appears with 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.

There doesn't appear to be any update drivers from M-Audio and the CD that came with the interface also does not work?

I can't find any information with this problem. Can any one help?

Oops. . . A loose lead connection may have been the problem, although still not receiving a signal?

After closing GB down for the night,the next morning I get that same message on my Focusrite scarlet interface- What I do is remove the USB cord from the back of the interface and re-insert it and everything is running again. I have to do this everytime I open un GB.

I'm having trouble getting my Firewire Solo to work too. It shows and I can get it to show in Preferences "Sound" input but I can't get it to record live from my mic.

It's been ten years since I used it last. I have the latest 10.10.3 Yosemite and the latest garageband updates also.

I'll follow your thread if you don't mind.

Maybe we can solve this together.

Pretty unusual that two of us using this old equipment on our newer computers and having this same exact problem
