"Hi, I have a US-800 plugged in to my mac (OS X 10.7.3), with the latest driver installed. The problem is that after a few seconds playing any song, it starts distorting the sound (in a bit crushing way) until it simply stops playing. Then I have to go into the system preferences and reset the soundcard, which makes it play again, but the same problem happens over and over again. Is this a common problem? How can I fix it? The interface is useless with this issue. Thanks."

This is what I just emailed Tascam, does anyone else have this issue with the US-800? :(
 
Sounds like a buffer issue. Your CPU is pooping out. Have you tried increasing the buffer size in the US800 Control Panel?
 
The problem is that there is no buffer size control in the us-800 panel for Mac. There is in the Windows version, though.
When I increase the buffer size in Logic it kind of works, but if I just want to listen to a song in iTunes, the problem appears again. And I got no response from Tascam. :(
My iMac is an intel core 2 duo 3.06, 16GB. Shouldn't it be enough to drive the interface?
