New sleep problem with OS 10.4.3

My Dual 2.5 G5 will no longer sleep. I have Unloaded the UAD-1 Driver, but the System Log still says \"PCI sleep prevented by non-power-managed Universal Audio UAD-1 (1)\".

I'm running OS 10.4.3 and UAD 4.0.0, but I think this started while I was still running 10.4.2.

Any ideas? This is actually a major inconvenience for my office/studio...

Happy Holidays!

my G5 dp2.0 sleeps anytime. Even when I disable sleep it falls asleep when inactive for quite a while. Not that I mind, as long as it's not when I'm working. Maybe a pci-x thing? I've got normal pci slots.

Budy,

When your G5 falls asleep, does the fan stop running? Is everything regular? I own more or less your same model (1.8DP), and Deep Sleep causes a crash of the USB bus. Light Sleep does not crash it, but fans continue running.

Best regards,
Paolo

I believe its a Physical thing. As long as the device is in the PCI slot it will draw power. At least that's what I believe is the case. I think the slot senses the PCI card and the card signals back to the system to receive power. I think this all happens before the actual OS loads. So I think the only solution is to remove the UAD-1 Card.

DO you really need the CPU to sleep or is it enough for just the monitor to sleep?? That's what I do. Unless I manually select Sleep.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I initiate a Deep Sleep (choosing Sleep from the Apple menu) but the fan keeps running softly. Doesn't matter whether I "Unload UAD-1 Driver" with the Utility or not. The Driver Utility is also flakey now - I get "Applescript Error -1762" when I load the driver.

I wonder if this IS a 10.4.3 problem. Apple's Discussion boards have a lot of users with sleep problems after the 10.4.3 update.

I'm just upgrading today to 4.1 and be out with x-mass but will check things when I'm back... I think my computer doesn't do deep sleep since I disabled it. I always turn of the computers when I leave just to be save.

Have you read the uad-1 driver utiltity readme.rtf? It states what you must do to enable deep sleep with uad

It looks exactly like the Readme found with the former version of the Utility. Nothing new, it seems.

Cheers,

General Mac OSX forums have a lot on sleep being broken in general with Tiger with many newer Macs. Its not a UAD problem. Sleep cannot be enabled in many cases, and where it can, the system often crashes on wake up. General advice there is to just leave the Mac on if you're away for a short time and otherwise shut down. Not very useful, I know.

Well, I emailed UA Tech Support three weeks ago and haven't had a response.

hmmm; I gues maybe they tend to not answer the questions which they know about but don't have a immidiate solution for... I fired two problem-mails at them; one got immidiate response (they never heard of the problem) and the other none at all. The last problem was however fixed with 4.1 which came out 2 weeks after my mail, so they must have known about it.

In your case it seems to be a tiger flaw, but I don't see why they don't say something like 'we know about the problem but are not sure if and how it is related with the Uad-1 card.'

Anyway; with my first issue the support was extremely fast and good. They asked me to call them for realtime assistance, so I think Akis's advice is the best; call them as soon as the holidays are over.

Goodluck
Budy
