Topic: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

This is an updated macOS Thunderbolt DriverKit driver for macOS 12 and up. It is a release candidate and will be available on the website shortly.

Attention: The UFX+ requires a firmware update to version 110 (AKM) or 164 (ESS) to enable the use of DriverKit driver. Link to firmware update tool:

https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/fut_usb_tb_mac.zip

Current driver version: 1.03. Included TotalMix FX: 1.79.

System requirements: macOS 12 and up, Intel or M processor (Apple Silicon)

Installation: Double-click on driver_mac_tbdk_103.zip to expand the archive file to the driver file UFX+ Thunderbolt DK.pkg. Installation works automatically by a double-click on the pkg (package) file. Before reboot check that in Security & Privacy, tab General, the RME driver is allowed to load. If not unlock the settings and allow it. Then reboot computer.

Notes

A previously installed kernel extension driver, like 1.22, does not need to be uninstalled. It will be removed automatically. After that you could set the system security back to normal, unless any other existing kernel extensions still need reduced security.

To go back to 1.22 manually: drag the RME Thunderbolt Settings app found in the folder Applications to the trash can - only use the Finder for this action. With DriverKit this Settings dialog is 'the app', upon removal all driver files belonging to it will also be removed automatically. You will be asked for permission for the removal of the extensions.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

I have same detection problems after turning off/on as with 1.01 driver. (UFX+, iMac, Intel, Ventura 13.1). After a reboot, the UFX+ is recognized correctly again until I power it off. It's not a super problem as I rarely turn off unit during a session, but it is there.

Thanks for testing. Please note my former statement - we can not reproduce this effect on any of our systems, so currently have no way of fixing it for you.

I can replicate this (UFX+, iMac Pro, Intel, Ventura 13.1, Thunderbolt). But on my Macbook Air M1 (same OS, TB) the UFX+ is always detected after turning it on again! Seems to be some strange difference of the driverkit between Intel and Apple Silicon?

- No detection problems on both systems with the USB driverkit driver.

- Crackling noise interference with bluetooth mouse (crackling on every mouse click) on both driverkit drivers (USB and TB) on the Intel system only.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

I'm able to replicate this issue as well with the release candidate.

Specs:
Firmware: v110, Driver: v1.02
UFX+ is connected to iMac Pro (2017) via Thunderbolt using Apple's Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter
macOS Ventura 13.1

Steps to reproduce:
1) After a fresh boot, UFX+ works perfectly and is detected
2) Turn off UFX+
3) Turn back on UFX+
4) UFX+ is not detected

UFX+ is detected again by:
1) reboot while UFX+ is powered on, UFX+ works perfectly and is detected.

or

1) reboot while UFX+ is powered off
2) wait until reboot is complete, then turn on UFX+
3) UFX+ works perfectly and is detected

Could this issue be related to Apple's Thunderbolt adapter? I recall a note that this adapter was not preferred by RME, however I could be remembering incorrectly. In any case, I don't own any other adapter so I cannot test to confirm.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great product, the UFX+ is a wonderful interface.

(edited to clarify another scenario)

Thunderbolt adapter is not a problem. I don't use a Thunderbolt adapter (older iMac, TB2 sockets), only a TB cable to the interface, and I have the same "on/off/on" problem with this driver. You may notice that the problem occurs again on the next iMac variant.

No. With three machines available to me the re-detection after turning off and on the UFX+ works on Apple Silicon (both a Macbook M1 Air and and Macbook Pro with M1 Max, both on Ventura 13.1), but fails with the Intel iMac Pro (also on Ventura).
It could be a TB security issue (Intel+T2) or TB is implemented differently on Apple Silicon?

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

I just freshly installed 1.02 Driverkit on the UFX+ on MBP16 Monterey. The driver settings app was running, but Totalmix app wasn't automatically opening, so I pulled the Thunderbolt cable to reinsert in the hope of everything launching and I got a hard instant shutdown.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

Apart from the crash I had above, TB Driverkit 1.02 seems to be running OK here, I will report back if there's anything odd but I haven't had any crackles for hours at 64samples and no more crashes.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

I'm also experiencing the failure to detect after power cycling the UFX+ with driver 1.02 (also noticed the issue with 1.01)

Same behaviour as others have reported, a reboot resolves.

In addition I'm noticing that Zoom hangs if I try to select the UFX+ as an input or output.

Intel, iMac 2019, Monterey 12.6.2, UFX+

This is another Intel iMac (Monterey/Ventura) with the same "on/off/on" driver problem.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

I had to give up on the 1.02 driverkit. For me it works for short periods, but after a bit, you get sporadic glitches on playback every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Gone back to the 1.22 kext. I guess I'm screwed with the UFX+ when Apple stop allowing kexts, but I'm no rush after my attempt to Ventura bricked the machine.

(edited, had the version numbers from USB driver...its late!)

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

1.02 works fine so far on Mac Studio with macOS 12.6.2 here.
I switched to TB after having used my UFX+ via USB3 for some time just to check it out.
Don‘t know if there‘s anything fishy with my USB setup, but TB works way better!
Lower latency, lower buffers possible in Reaper (down to 32) and, weirdly, plugins seem
to load noticeably faster. Also, I don‘t experience any glitching when inserting plugins anymore.

1.03 is in the works, adding stuff we learnt from the HDSPe driver. Should come in the next days.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

First post has been updated to DK driver version 1.03. Changes are some improvements taken over from the HDSPe driver:

- New Surprise Removal detection and handling

- Improved behaviour of AudioServer Plugin on closing of the driver

Not sure if this helps in detection after sleep, but it should prevent the the crashes reported here in certain situations.

Re: Thema: New macOS RME Thunderbolt driver 1.03 for UFX+

Thanks for the update!

Unfortunately, redetection of the UFX+ after switching off and on still doesn't work on the Intel (iMac Pro, Ventura 13.2 RC). It works on the M1 System.

Some further testing:
- as before all is working well on the M1 System (Ventura 13.2 RC)
- Crackling noise while clicking on the BT Mouse is gone!
- I got the UFX+ *re*detected *twice* after connecting it to a subsequently different TB port (Imac Pro has  4 ports / 2 bus TB3 system) until i ran out of ports. After that, the UFX+ is not redetected on any port until rebooting.

P.S.
- I remember another *re*detection problem with a Samsung X5 *TB* Drive after installing a *USB* S. M.A.R.T driver from DriveDX years ago. Works without problems ever since though. Maybe some strange things are happening on the TB3 bus on all Intel Macs?
- All four TB ports on the iMac Pro are working without problems with two TB Samsung X5 drives, an iLok USB-C and a cascade of UA Apollo/Satellite, in every permutation, redetection and sleep mode included ;-)
- I tested the *re*detection with the UFX+ as the only TB device and also in combination with two TB drives and an iLok. Same results in both cases.
- The adapter for the UFX+ is the "official" Apple TB3-TB2 white one, i have four of them...

I confirm re-detection (off-on) problem is still here. Driver Beta 1.03, iMac, Intel, Ventura 13.1.

Tested again with Ventura 13.2?
