Yes
Owners of Fireface 800 reported success using their unit with the two thunderbolt adapters on Sonoma.

I think it should work. But - sorry waedi - the old Firefaces 800 and 400 don't use the same drivers than the UFX+, so this is not really a confirmation.
@TheArtMusicRecords: how do you have connected the UFX+ to the Mac, what driver is installed? USB 3 or Thunderbolt?

UFX+ works perfectly here via USB on Sonoma

Hello,

I am also looking for confirmation that my UCX will work with Mac OS Sonoma. When I start up my UCX on Mac OS Ventura I get a legacy warning saying that the UCX software extension will not be compatible with future updates i.e. Mac OS Sonoma

Here's the link https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210999

I would look into this if I had the time but just too busy to spend time researching at the moment.

I am on an M1 Mac Mini looking to install the new Mac OS Sonoma. I have a UCX and an ADI-2 DAC FS.

Kind regards

Rodney

Hi waedi,

Thank you for the link

I have updated from driver 4.08 to 4.09

Kind regards

Rodney

Also looking for confirmation for Sonoma, but on a UFXIII on USB.

Still on Monterey and have been getting dropouts since I purchased the interface.
Hoping Sonoma will solve these problems.

And do you use the driver 409 ?

Did you even read what you quoted? And what is the relation to what you wrote?

A driver is a driver, an application is an application. You elaborated on RME drivers, but you quote something about Eventide plugins, which are applications. Driver and application coding are different things, have different technical/coding requirements and need different developer skills.

Incidentally, behind such advertising statements is nothing more than the statement that the application is supported under Sonoma, can be started on the computer and works in principle. But how that then works under load or in interaction with other applications / DAW is another thing. Furthermore, an application cannot fix any Apple problems in the area of memory compression and what not (which led finally to issues).

In the end, Apple seems to have fixed something in Sonoma (so that EDIT: some issues were gone for some people). Eventide says no more and no less in their advertisement that their products run under Sonoma. Additionally, they point out that not all DAWs support Sonoma yet. This hint is most likely meant to prevent any DAW issues from ending up in their support area.

Oh, thanks, then I had it wrong in my mind. I will remove this from the post, not to create any confusion.
My post had a different purpose anyway, as I also could not understand the rationale behind waedi's posting.

Hello,
I have accidental disconnection with my fireface 800 since i have bought a new 2021 M1 imac with ventura.I have the two adaptators to connect my FF800 to my imac.  Before i had a Imac 2011 and my sound card worked fine.
I don't know why buy i can have connection with my FF800 during some days and suddenly i have the red led HOST on. I have upgraded to Sonoma buy the problem is the same.

If i connect my FF800 to my Macbook pro 2011 that works fine.
i have the last driver from 2021-11-10 and the last firmware 2012-05-22.

Someone have a idea to solve my problem ? As i can see on this forum, the FF800 is compatible with Sonoma.
thanks

Yes .

Hi Moua pouet,

does that happen during normal operation?

I'm asking because I have the red host light sometimes when the iMac M1 falls asleep. I wouldn't call that a problem but normal behaviour. The FF 800 is back on immediately after the iMac woke up when moving the mouse or pressing a key.

What is your startup sequence? I start the iMac first, wait until it is fully booted, then switch on the Fireface. Then the Fireface settings and Totalmix start and their respective windows close automatically.

I have no problems with the Fireface 800 and the iMac M1 with Sonoma and hadn't so with Ventura.

P.S.: I don't know if it is a good idea to fumble with the connections when everything is powered on and to bend and wiggle on the plugs like you do in your YT video. At least I wouldn't do that. It hurts watching that. It would be no wonder things break sooner or later.

I don't understand that despite i approve RME GmbH it doesn't launch. https://ibb.co/zXkDdkx

Would be no wonder (at least to me). See his Youtube vidoes from a few posts earlier.

I can only quote from my own post:

What is on Thunderbolt / USB4 ?

I have put two New adapter and that doesn't work

I am having same issues with ff400, two adapters. Red Light but after a few power cycles it works. It just takes time I suppose for the whole set up to be recognised?

I can't see anything you are doing wrong.
it looks like there is something missing in the Security&Privacy settings, the part where an ALLOW button should appear.
The driver readme should tell about.

What I would try :
Disable SIP for the driver installation.
Later on when the interface is working correctly the SIP can be re-enabled.

To do so:
Restart your Mac.
Before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R, and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
The terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
From the menu, select Restart.

For re-enable SIP do the same procedure but use : csrutil enable

Edit : code corrected

Hi Maggie

No it was not a typo, there are different websites where I got it from.
On the Apple developers page is the other code with csrutil.
Both work.
This is from Apple developers page :

To disable SIP, do the following:
Restart your computer in Recovery mode.
Launch Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Run the command csrutil disable.
Restart your computer.

To reenable SIP, do the following:
Restart your computer in Recovery mode.
Launch Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Run the command csrutil enable.
Restart your computer.

You try the installer RME driver again ?
You wrote, the problem is the installer failed to finish the driver installation,
the reason for disable SIP is to make the driver installation performs successfully.
Hopefully

The red HOST Led is constantly on -> FF800 is not physically recognized (by whatever reason)

It makes no sense fiddeling with drivers/sw if the physical connection does not work!

I just saw your video... Dude! What are you doing?

As Apfel already said:

It would not be a surprise if a FW Port would be broken.

Anyhow, Could you describe in detail:

- do you use a FW400 to FW800 Cable or a 800 to 800 Cable?
- where exactly the FW-800 Cable is connected (to which port) on the FF800?
- be 100% sure that the FW Cable is Ok

Then, you can try (just for the test):

- poweroff the Fireface800
- poweroff the Mac
- Disconnect all the other cables
- No Hubs or sth!
- Make only needed physically Connections (between your 2 Adapters, the FW Cable and the FF800)
- poweron the mac, wait until it boots and login
- poweron the Unit
- open the terminal in macos and enter:

ioreg -lxw0 | grep Fireface

- Report back, what you see (if you see your Fireface in the output -> good! - If not -> no physical connection)

Hello, when i have relaunched my imac after deconnected all my hubs my fireface was regognized without any others actions !
I was so happy but during the day, after reconnected all my stuffs the fireface had again the red led on...
So, i have deconnected again all my stuff but the fireface is with the red led on again ...

Now if i open the terminal in macos and enter: ioreg -lxw0 | grep Fireface
Nothing happen. 

I use a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable with the two adaptators.
