Using the UR22mkII
The latest USB Driver for High Sierra 10.13 http://download.steinberg.net/downloads_hardware/Yamaha_Steinberg_USB_Driver/Mac/1.9.10-2/YSUSB_V1910-2_Mac.zip
solved an issue I had for nearly a year (need to switch back an forth the sample rate each time I plugged in the UR22mkII)
this issue was fixed for 4 weeks or so…
Until the HighSierra Update 10.13.3 made it even worse: now sometimes (around 1 of 4 USB plug-ins) the USB-Kernel-Modul or Subsystem of MacOSX gets screwed up,
my MacBook has 2 USB3 Ports. So when one port is dead, I can use the other one until its dead too.
Then I have to reboot the MacBook to get this fixed each time.
Anyone else with this problem?
EDIT:
found out this:
when the UR22mkII is unplugged, the USB Driver driver is not always unloaded as it should. It sometimes still shows up in MacOS Systeminformation → Systemreport>Hardware->USB. It should not be displayed here, when unplugged, right?:
and
When the UR22mkII is UNPLUGGED, and I try to
sudo kextunload -v 6 -b jp.co.yamaha.driver.YamahaSteinbergUSBAudio
i got:
Kext user-space log filter changed from 0xff2 to 0xfff.

which should not happen.
als opposed to immediately after reboot:
