Topic: FF400 doesn't get recognized even though it's externally powered
When I plug in my FF400, it doesn't get recognized on MBP with USB-C. The FF400 is connected with external power adapter. If I unplug my other TB devices, it gets recognized. The same config works at other times, so this isn't 100% reproducible.
I get "Accessory needs more power" message. If I look at the system information, none of the devices are consuming more power than available. So, what gives?
Steps:
On Mac catalina, plug FF400 through dongle chain. FF400 is externally powered (setting in the back set to "ext power").
Open RME Fireface settings -> doesn't open.
