Topic: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

My setup (iMac M1, Fireface 800, Logic Pro X) is still running on Sequoia 15.0 without problems! I have the Fireface 800 connected via the usual two (original Apple-)adapter daisychain. Latest driver 3.41 and firmware 2.77 of course.

Additionally all UA-plugins are running. Wavelab Elements 11.2 (which I rarely use) also.

I didn't have to reinstall or update or reactivate anything.

No apparently issues here either with a FF800 and UFX on a M1 Studio.

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

Good morning, I also want to give my testimony: My Fireface 800 connected with the usual two Apple cables to a Mac mini M1 with Cubase 13, it works great, it is already the third OS update without problems and without having to change anything in the setup, I performed the normal Apple update and when I restarted everything works wonderfully... thank you mother RME for giving us this magnificent Fireface 800, as soon as possible I will update with something more recent like 802FS or UFX, RME is a guarantee of functioning, in my studio has always been active for many years without ever a problem (I only changed some capacitors in the power supply a few years ago, €5 cost and easily replaced by me)

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

I confirm that it works well under Sequoia (15.1.1): I had to change the Firewire port on the back of my Firewire 800 copy so that it would be properly recognized: phew!

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

I don't think anything will change with further Sequoia updates. Might be different with MacOS 16.

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

Agree. Also Apple could easily kill anything else (Kerne Extension) but FireWire - they have total control over this. We have to wait and see what they will do.

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

Either the driver might not be installed correctly, or the unit is not recognized (for whatever reason) at all.

If its related to driver:

1) Set your Mac to reduced security in Startup Security Utility as you need to install kext drivers.
Described here: https://rme-audio.de/rme-macos.html
And here: https://rme-audio.de/reduced-security-mac-m-series.html

2) Reinstall the drivers again

3) If it still doesn't work, in terminal try a:
kmutil trigger-panic-medic --volume-root '/Volumes/YOURVOLUMENAME'
where YOURVOLUMENAME is the name of - your volume wink. Usually Macintosh HD.

4) Reinstall the drivers again

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

Re: Fireface 800 and MacOS Sequoia

i have just found out that its my behringer ada8200 that is causing the interference, glitch and other playing problems. the audio seems fine now but when i turn on the adat it starts the problems. any help at all much appreciated :-)
