The Texas Instruments dont have Any compatible problems with sound cards but Lucent, Agere has major problems with many different sound card brands. I want to know if I am going to have problems with The new iMac. You want proof! Read RME forums about iMac problems and other brands like TC electronics, Focusrite, Motu, Echo audio, and many more. As a music producer it is very important that The Firewire chipset does work with all brands and today it is only TI chipset that does.

The sound cards drop connection sporadic, distorted sound, strange noises and rattle sounds.
Sometimes the sound card can not connect at all.
All this with Agere-Lucent Firewire chipset, but no problems with TI chipset.
This Firewire (Lucent-Agere)chipset is built in since 2006 and now I do not know what chipset, so that is my question!
Apple is aware of this but they do not care to solve it? I mean it is simple to just put the TI chipset in there again.

LSI/Agere Revision 8 is used in all current Mac's that support FireWire. The issues mentioned in this thread are no longer a problem with these chipsets. See here:

I'm using the Mbox2Pro...switching from PC to Mac. Does anybody have any experience with this combination? ie. any problems with the new iMac firewire chipset..?
What is an "Mbox2Pro"??? I never heard of such a computer or device.
And what is the RME forum?
