I don't know what is causing it but I have had a similar issue with my FF400 for many years. It started by the the FF400 needing several minutes "get online" when starting up the gear. Until it had "warmed up" any audio sent to it did suffocate the interface and triggered that red light on. The "warm-up period" became longer and longer until I finally had to wait for half an hour until it could handle audio without interruptions. Now I have stopped using it completely. Some experiences studio guys I was talking to said that there seems to be an issue with the RME power adapters to break too soon. But I think that's a different issue really, because if the power adapter is broken you can still power it through the Firewire if using a Mac.
