Hi Ed - just installed the beta driver for my AXR4U on an M1 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1. Install went well with activation and restart. DSPMixFX is working and controlling the AXR4U. Working in Cubase 12 with no issues so far to note.

Why is UR28M not listed / supported?

Cheers
David

It hasn’t been tested yet. The driver should work as well but this is even more unsupported than for the supported devices :wink:

Thank you for the feedback, @BlueJava
Much appreciated!

Ed
Should I installer the version 3.1.4 Usb driver before installing the 4.01 beta to test?

Thanks
David

Hi Dave, no, you can install the beta driver right away.

Ok thanks.

I use 4.0.2b with Sonoma 14.0 for the UR22 without problems on an M1 Macbook Air.
Uninstalled the previous driver, installed the beta driver - then upgraded to Sonoma.

Will this driver expand to support Yamaha products like the DM3 and other mixing consoles?

Did you ever receive an answer for this? I’m having constant crashes with the DM3 and V3.1.7 driver and would be keen to switch if it’s going to mean my machine will stop crashing at critical moments.

This is unfortunately something for the Yamaha support to answer.

Hi, I’ve been wasting 10 hours of searching why my UR816c did not show up as an audio device on my Mac mini M1. In the guidelines it says that it is “not Necessary” to configure reduced security. If you dare to keep "Reduced security"you’re screwed. You HAVE TO switch from reduced to full security. You do this shutting down and then holding impressed the switch on buttom in the recovery menu on top launching the security tool and select full security in the menu. After restarting the device showed up right away. I believe you also have to update the firmware to the latest version. Hope it helps someone out faster. :slight_smile:

I’ve been trying to install the driver on my M1 MacBook Air and could use some feedback. I followed the steps from Steinberg that begin with “reduced security…” and then continued with the driver install steps that culminate in “The installation was successful” and prompting for “Installer would like to access files in your downloads folder” which I allow…but then that’s it! There are no further prompts.

I restarted my Mac, plugged it into my keyboard and it everything seems to work. However, when I try to confirm which Steinberg driver is used by going to Apple Menu–>About this Mac…(see below) it appears it is still version 1. I’ve tried restarting my Mac and doing the same check and still see version 1 when I’m expecting to see 3.1.7. Any ideas? Thx much.
