Topic: Macbook M3 (2024) restarted 'because of a problem'

My macbook automatically shut down without RME UC being connected (no USB were connected while it happened).
It happened once before when RME UC was connected via usb. I have updated the drivers. Could someone advise me what to do? I am using this interface also on stage, and this is very frightening..


Message from Mac (Sonoma 14.5, Macbook Pro M3, 2024 year)

Re: Macbook M3 (2024) restarted 'because of a problem'

Broken cable is the only thing pop in my mind.
The crash report can't tell you if this is the case. Testing with new cable is cheap and easy to do.
Otherwise update the firmware with the FUT and use latest driver.

The interface wasn’t connected to the computer when this happened

Re: Macbook M3 (2024) restarted 'because of a problem'

macOS usually does not load a Kernel Extension when there is no hardware connected. Did you had the UC connected before and did not restart since then?

The log does not describe a real 'crash' but a hanging state, issuing a timeout after 60 seconds. This driver's routines are many years old so we do not expect any bug in there as this would have come up earlier.

For more examinaton we would need more extensive descriptions on how it happened. And yes, the cable could still be a culprit.

Yes I had RME UC connected via USB cable about 5minutes before this happened, and did not restart.


I was actually updating the drivers before - I went from kernel to driverkit (latest). When I was installing the driverkit, there was a request to open the terminal (which i approved), but it gave an error message (something about kernel extentions).

Was that MacOS system preferences / security and privacy ? I don't remember there was ever a driver installation request for opening Terminal.
And how did you approved that ? By hit the OK-button ?
That was probably a failure.
You shall not hit the OK-button but the other one that opens the system preferences where you have to allow the driver installation.
Do the driver installation again if this was the case.

I don't remember there was ever a driver installation request for opening Terminal.

Then you did not change from Kernel to DK with the later driver versions. It's all in the DK's readme.

I was actually updating the drivers before - I went from kernel to driverkit (latest). When I was installing the driverkit, there was a request to open the terminal (which i approved), but it gave an error message (something about kernel extentions).

Unfortunately that error message is normal. The real proof that removing the Kernel Extension worked is by rebooting and not seeing any RME-issued KE warning on next boot and usage of the audio interface. Now let's see if that 'crash' happens again with the DK driver installed.
