LOGIC CRASH WHEN LOOKINAG AT PREFERENCES

Question

I have changed my audio interface. Now when I load LOGIC I get the normal message which says the old audio interface isn't available and will I use the on-board sound. After the message I go on to the Audio Preferences section to change the core audio to my new interface however it crashes every single time. I have re-installed LOGIC, but I still get the message and it crashes.
Anyone with/had similar problems?
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Just a dumm question, but have you reconfigured your OSX audio/midi preferences to use the new Audio Interface driver? if not, Logic won't be able to recognize it.
If you did, then try this:
• Go to the ~/user/library/preferences/logic and throw the contents of Logic's preferences folder in the trash.
• Empty the trash, reboot your Mac and open Logic again.
In doing that, Logic will ask you to configure it's preferences - the same way it did when you first installed and opened it. If OSX recognizes the Audio Interface's driver, Logic will do as well.
(Note: in case you use a different set of keyboard commands, make sure to save them before taking these steps. You may import them later).
One last thing: when configuring the Audio/Midi Preferences - if the System freezes or crashes - then there's possibly a problem between OSX and your Audio Interface.
Good luck and best wishes,
