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.

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
