Hot Swapping Audio Devices
Over a few weeks I’ve had some strange crashes on my Macbook Pro.
It all started after l had installed Pro Tools 8 LE on my system. After a while of sustained usage, or being on for several hours, suddenly, the machine would give me a complete kernel error or “You need to reboot, to do this, hold the power button...’.
Not a fun message, especially if you are writing a blog like I am now and suddenly... Yeah, you get the picture.
After this really messed me up, I finally sat down and started checking out my system report after the crash. The root of the crash was the ‘digi.core.audio’ driver. Mind you, I had forgotten about the Pro Tools installation at this point and this served as my reminder.
After looking around on the Digi forums and a little here, and a little there, I discovered the cause, effect and solution.
