Remove unrelated software and drivers

The presence of drivers for other FireWire devices and other audio devices, even though they are not actively connected, may be a cause of system trouble. Consider stripping down your computer to be solely music-oriented. A Computer that has seen many generations of audio interface may need to have its OS cleanly reinstalled to work reliably.
