Saffire mixcontrol catalina6/20/2023 ![]() From a reference, few users mentioned that it worked on Sierra but after an update, it no longer worked and we had to try on various macOS release since Sierra 10.12 to Big Sur 11.2.3 and all of them with no success. Upon doing some quick research over the internet, we came to know that there are many users having such issues and mostly with Antelope. The drivers will load and the interface will also have Input and Output Control but no Audio will be processed. In this case, the Audio Interface will be detected in the IOReg and its control panel. In this case, the Audio Interface will be detected in the IOReg, but the Audio Interface will not be detected in its control panel and the Audio Input and Output will not work as the audio cannot be processed due to partial loading of drivers. Upon our investigation, we noticed two scenario which is described below. We started to contact friends to check if they had more Audio Interface who were facing the same issue and we got to know about other brands such as PreSonus, Slate Digital, Focusrite and Apogee Digital which were also having similar issues. Recently, in 2020, just for another try, we did a PC build and to just check, we used the same ZenTour interface to check and this time, it was a Desktop, with full hotplug functionality and still there was no sign of success. The implementation for Hotplug has been already discussed and is available in the public domain. ![]() Later on, we began working on this project and since then, we have implemented Hotplug, removing Thunderbolt errors and issues. The Laptop had no issues when connecting to other Thunderbolt Devices such as UAD or other Thunderbolt Drives. This is one of the reason why studio users are more opting for UAD and friendly Audio Interface.Īlmost 3yrs ago, one of our friend asked to check whether we can get his "Antelope ZenTour" which is a Thunderbolt 2 Audio Interface and after lots of tests and research, it never worked via Thunderbolt connectivity. This is not the case with UAD and some other Audio Interface which works perfect on these builds, without any issue. Have said that, people have been continuously blaming Antelope for their bad implementation of interface drivers which is not "friendly" for the users who are having custom PC Builds and Laptops with macOS installed on it. Where, Antelope is famous in the community for its bad impression as its driver doesn't works at all in such environment. It has been so long since few Audio Interface from the brands like Antelope, PreSonus, Slate Digital, Focusrite and Apogee Digital doesn't works well on the custom PC Builds and Laptops with macOS installed on it. ![]() Now you can use Antelope, PreSonus, Slate Digital, Focusrite and Apogee Digital Thunderbolt and FireWire Audio Interface and NAS on Custom PC Builds and Laptops with macOS
