Topic: FireFace UCX (USB) to Mackbook Pro16,1 (Thunderbolt 3)
I have a brand new Macbook Pro, 2.4GHz 8-Core Intel i9, 64GB memory running OS Catalina 10.15.7. This laptop has the Thunderbolt3 USB connectors. I also have a working RME FireFace UCX interface (USB2, type-B)
My goal is to get this new Jamulus software running on the mac. (Jamulus is an online, low latency audio communication app for musicians to jam/rehearse live on the web)
I purchased a USB2 (type-B) to USB3 (Thunderbolt) cable to connect the hardware described.
(The RME is getting it's power from it's original external PSU .... not being powered via USB .... if thats even possible...?)
Bottom line....
Jamulus will see the RME Fireface as a valid I/O in it's device 'Device I/O Mapping' window however no audio is getting into Jamuls' input meters at my end. When I play my instrument, I see the input signal on ch#3/4 of my RME Fireface, however I do NOT see it on the Jamulus Input meters. (therefore my bandmates can NOT hear me)
I have tried every analog input on my RME (and re-mapped that new input to Jamulus) but I can't get in to Jamulus.
Intersting....My bandmates audio feeds all get back through Jamulus, through the RME as my 'software playback' stereo source as routed in TotalMix. I can hear all of them.
My RME does work 100% when I connect it to my older Macbook Pro, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, 8Gb memory running OS Sierra 10.12.5. This laptop has the USB2 (type-A) connectors. Jamulus works 100% here.
Is this a USB2 to USB3 issue?
Is this a Macbook Pro,16,1 issue?
Is this a Catalina 10.15.7 issue?
Thanks so much for any help/advice.
