Topic: Fireface UC Problem on Mac M1 Max Monterey 12.2.1

Hello,
i have some problems with my audiointerface. I’ve received my Macbook pro M1 Max Monterey OS 12.2.1 (before that i’ve used a windows notebook). When i try to install the driver for the thirst time a message popes up that i need to allow the changes (security and privacy + turn mac off & press touch id) but driver don’t work. Totalmix & USB Flash Update are not working, i can’t open it but when i download the FUT USB Flash directly from RME it will work. Totalmix is not working and the USB driver too, I’ve tried to delete/reinstall it but it won’t worked out and when i trie to install the USB driver again the Pop Up (allow new kernel extensions driver) don’t show up and when i open the security & privacy settings i can’t see it there too. What can i do? Someone else have this problem? I hope someone can help out.
Thanks snd best regards

You forgot to set the UC into AP (Apple) mode. Manual page 28:

• Check the correct firmware version by a double click on the rotary encoder button. The display PC means Windows, the display AP means Mac. The double click automatically switches between both versions. Note: a change of state is only possible when the unit is not connected to the computer.

Re: Fireface UC Problem on Mac M1 Max Monterey 12.2.1

Hi,
I bought a new APPLE MAC STUDIO. My RME FIREFACE UC works on my MAC BOOK PRO but don't work on my new Apple.
I use an Apple USB-C - USB2 converter.

The system don't recognise the sound card. TOTALMIX don't work. I can only acces in the setting menu.
The sound car seems active: The red led desapear when I plug the USB on the MAC. (APP MODE OF COURSE!)
I've tested all USB-C and all USB-A port on my MAC.
I've made a re-installation of the latest driver of RME FIREFACE UC. (USB 2/3 driver for macOS 11 and up. Version 3.27. Supports Intel and M1)

But at least, no change. The sound card seems not working on the new MAC.
Can you help me if you have a new idea?
Thanks.
Antoine

hello matt, after a while wink
fireface uc on macbookpro m1 (monterey). each time i start the mac, need to pug, unplug usb to active the rme.
fireface setting show: firmwave v127. driver: v4.08

i'am not shure if i have the kernel extension installed, i check in: about this mac, software, extension, no rme ..
where to find kernel extension ? and wich version is installed ..
it work without the famous kernel ? or it's the problem of my plug unplug at mac start ?

Re: Fireface UC Problem on Mac M1 Max Monterey 12.2.1

You have not installed the kernel extension driver.
4.08 is a new driver-kit-driver (4.10 is the actual one, see the UCXll page, you can use the 4.10 driver, it's readme text tells you how to install.).
Follow the website. The webpage Fireface UC offers the 331 driver, use that one.
I wouldn't use other drivers than offered by the official place.
The firmware 127 seems to be up-to-date.

after installing the 331 driver you should test the system.
Only if the issue still is there, then try with the 410 driver. It will delete the previous extension 331 driver.
