[G4] QS powers down

[B G]

I found this on a discussion board it might help.

It sounds like it is not a hardware but a software issue.

I would contact Focusrite directly.

The Saffire Inputs and outputs will e listed in Audio MIDI setup with  
no input/output controls this is because Saffire LE control allows you  
to set these settings.

It has been brought to our attention recently that there is a bug in  
OSX Leopard that will cause kernel panics if a firewire audio  
interface is switched on/connected, after a certain amount of memory  
has been allocated, or if the sample rate of an already active  
interface is changed when the same amount of memory has been  
allocated, this kernel panic will also occur. This issue has been  
reported to Apple and will hopefully be addressed in a future update  
to OSX.

It sounds like this may be what is causing the problems you are  
experiencing in Logic. If you connect the Saffire LE just after you  
have booted the Mac (with no other applications open) then make sure  
that the sample rate of the Saffire is set to the same in logic, to  
avoid any sample rate changes.

If you reboot the Mac, then try playing back audio from an application  
such as iTunes can you get playback from the Saffire?
