Reply to new Macbook Air 2013 crashes everytime i connect NI audio interface. Help!

I've tried to solve my Mac vs PC dilemma by recommending other djs to get Macbook airs for their Traktor after i saw many recommendations from users. It went better than expected with my friends and they love this setup. So i finaly managed to save up for my own macbook air...


and then this happened

this thread exactly describes my problem. I connect Audio 8 to my Macbook Air 2013, 2 seconds later freeze and one second later boom! white screen of death, press any key to restart.... bummer.

What strikes me though is the above mentioned thread? Im not gonna go buy something that is called usb powered hub i dont even need just to see it doesnt work. In the same respect im not giving much hope to NI support. What they gonna do after i tell them i dont want to hear: try using usb powered hub.

This is so obviously some kind of system error, and from what i've seen it seems usb 3.0 leads the cause.

Oh yes... i found one solution. if i shut down the mac and plug in ni audio device and boot up the mac, everything works.

at this point i dont even hope there is a fix soon, but if somebody heard a tip or might know whats going on, i would be very interested to see what is going on and what to do.

my system for all i care
