Since I’m not too familiar with macOS, I’m sort of assuming the driver and/or its parts use features that have been deprecated or removed from newer versions of macOS and therefore it’s practically unusable anymore. The irony of an unofficial driver on an unsupported platform working better than the official driver on a supported platform is palpable (though I am aware that it’s far from unusual). The situation is not so rosy for macOS, the only officially supported platform for it along with Windows: the driver from 2014, last supported OS version is 10.10.1, installs, loads the kernel extension and its control panel detects the device is connected just fine on 10.13.6, but trying to play any sound from Ableton Live 11, Ardour 6.9 and Pro Tools 2020 results in the DAW’s locking up to various degrees with no sound coming out. I have the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R audio interface which works great on Linux: all the internal routing is exposed in alsamixer including changing the effects on the internal DSP, the only thing I haven’t tried is MIDI and S/PDIF since I can’t find the breakout cable for it anymore. and a bunch of other vendors I'd not touch with a ten foot pole.I know this is not strictly on-topic on Ardour forums but this is the only place I could think of where free software, DAW’s, Linux and macOS are all relevant to a certain extent, so I hope you’ll forgive me. There are no end of nice interfaces spanning a large feature/price range, from vendors such as UAD, RME, Focusrite, Presonus, Apogee, Motu. Focusrite being the canonical low end interface vendor many of us recommend (Focusrite also make lots of higher end interfaces) but you are going to need to make sure any interface you buy now has drivers that are supported on Mountain Lion. The best advice you are going to get is to throw that interface out and buy something from a vendor who provides good product support. Maybe somebody from Avid can at least fix the broken link issue.
I don't think the new company took over the Ultra product line so they are not responsible for updates. It's now a seperate company making low end stuff. What macOS versions does the driver you are installing claim to support?ĭoes the M-Audio device show up in Audio/MIDI settings audio devices?Īvid info for old M-Audio drivers is supposed to be here: īut that's all screwed up and the link for the Fast Track Ultra is missing.Īvid dumped M-Audio, it was a business failure and support disaster for them.
