I'm using Live 7 too. It's not an issue with every patch but most of the arp patches and some of the more complex sounds, it's all over the place.

My system is:

MacMini (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 7200 RPM HD, 2 GB RAM)
RME Fireface 400
NO USB hub. I'm running it directly into the Mac with a pricey Monster Cable U-Link 500 USB 2.0 (480mbps) cable.

I've tried using the main outputs instead of the USB audio. No change. Tried adjusting latency and buffer settings over, and over, and over. No change. All my other plug-ins and synths sync to MIDI clock just fine. The ONLY way I can get the Virus to sync 100% of the time is to disconnect the USB and use it as a stand-alone MIDI module.

I'm don't know for sure, but it sounds like the cable is your problem, how long is said cable?

I had problems with the original USB cable and had to replace it twice to get it reliable. I have heard of other users not being able to use the provided cable also.

If you want to send me a live set I can give it a try. I'm on a completely different setup than you so its worth a shot I suppose. I have two daws, and I haven't had timing issues on either one.
