I had the same issue. I know how frustrating it is. For me it ended up being a bad firewire cable (the one shipped with my system) which took me forever to check since I thought it highly unlikely.

I would definitely start with a new cable to rule out that possibility. If it's possible to use a shorter cable that is also helpful since firewire cables are limited and the longer they are the more subject to possible issues.

You can try moving to a different firewire port or changing the configuration for example chaining you audio interface off the paca(rana)'s port or not. Also remove ALL other firewire devices to remove possibility of a conflict.

I'll leave any other advise to SSC. I know they can capture a debug log to get more information.

Try connecting the audio interface and paca(rana) to the same firewire card directly. Also try chaining PC->paca(rana)->audio interface.

If the audio interface is bus powered, make sure it's using a wall wart power supply instead of feeding just off the bus.

Are you syncing digital audio from the dedicated interface used by the paca(rana) to your computers audio interface? If so I've had the problem were a program on the computer like a DAW might change the sample rate on the computers interface causing the two to lose sync. Sometimes that also seems to cause issues with the communication.
