*Have you tried all available USB connections for the SonicCell? (Not all USB ports are created equal, sometimes there is only one that is true USB 2 rather than 1.1, although I'm not certain how all the different Macs handle that, I would think Mac would handle it better than that "other" brand does, but it is worth checking out.

Not only does the USB 1.1 vs the higher bandwidth available via a USB 2 port come to mind, also the sharing of devices internally in the Mac may have something to do with your problem, so trying any other USB ports again would be what I'd be doing next.

Too many USB devices hooked up at the same time might be fighting for bandwidth and attention also. An audio USB device can chew up a heckuva lot of bandwidth.

At the end of the day, the DRIVERS of the SonicCell may be the culprit. Don't know. Worth checking the mfr's website for any possible updates on that front.

Luck,
