Topic: Digiface AVB - RME AVB Controller not loading / M1 MAC Big Sur

Hello,

The RME AVB Controller software is not launching under Big Sur (M1).
I can just see a loading icon and that's it. Also tried to install Wireshark ChmodBPF.pkg as in some Thread proposed, but it did not help.

I can also not connect my Digiface AVB with the AVB Tool.

Could you please help me to troubleshoot?

Did you install the Mac USB driver? Is the Settings dialog and TM FX working? Simple iTunes playback via Phones works? Read this?

I can play audio through PHONES on the Digiface AVB. Total mix is also working.

But I have trouble to get the AVB tool audio -> into the Digiface AVB. I think I have to take configurations using the AVB Controller and unfortunately this SW is not working for me.

My chain looks like this:


Guitar -> AVB Tool -> Ethernet cable (no switch!) -> Digiface AVB -> USB3.0 -> M1 Mac


I have configured the AVB Tool over Ethernet to route the I/Os on the different AVB streams. But when I connect the AVB tool then directly to the Digiface, I cannot get an audio stream.

That setup will work, but you have to use the RME AVB Tool (or Hive) to configure the DF AVB. The current Mac M1 driver is v 3.25. That seems to work. Then you need to install the netifc from here:

After that you should be able to start the RME AVB Controller version 0.9335 (after having it installed).

IT WORKS!

Indeed rme_netifc_mac driver was missing.

Great to start working with the setup!

Danke!!!
