HI

Nice to see the knowledge base announce Mountain Lion Support for Mid-September! Thanks SB /Yamaha even though the 816 is older now, it’s so important to keep up driver updates to build a reputation as a trusted hardware manufacturer!

Has anyone with a Steinberg MR816 upgraded to Mountain Lion and successfully installed the drivers?

3

Whoa! Would this explain why I don’t see the “Hardware” view in my mixer anymore, and my Channel Strip and REV-X effects say “NOT AVAILABLE”?

I just upgraded to ML a few weeks ago, I thought Steinberg stuff was OK for ML… :blush:

Any updated info on the Mountain Lion support? Still waiting to upgrade my Mac :slight_smile:

The good news is: MR816 works for playback, etc. Just not switching sample rates and the effects, etc.

Oh, and I’m getting random dropouts. Something I haven’t experienced since PC days…

This is shockingly slow.

ALERT: Drivers seem to be updated on the Steinberg site - v1.7.3!

EDIT: Looks like they officially announced it in the forum.

Weird. I got an email today proudly announcing driver updates for the CMC controller series and Cubase/Nuendo maintenance updates - nothing about MR updates.Then I go to the MR Download area, and sure enough, there are 1.7.3 drivers, dating from Oct 8th! :question:

However, after rebooting, my “About” tab in System Preferences still says “1.7.1”, and my MR816 FX still say “NOT AVAILABLE” when I try to insert them. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the warning … doesn’t sound promising.

I’ll have to make sure I have the old version standing by before I upgrade!

SB will have to make this work though … the latest Sweetwater catalog (US) has a whole page of ads for the 816 FW interfaces …no big price drops… so they are definitely a current product. Ergo, drivers that work must be coming! I hope…
