My Apple rep and his supervisor were both confounded and never did figure out what was causing this. don't know which caused the failure.the device was visible in the midi setup utility but wouldn't show in the sound preferences.
#Macos sierra issues update#
The main issue I had with it which took a week out of my life in the busy season of December and necessitated HOURS on the phone with Apple Support was that my usb audio interface stopped working after an itunes update in High Sierra and a security update in H.S the same day. NO ONE tells you that If your external drive where you keep your back up isn't also SSD - files written under the new APFS in Time Machine can only be read by APFS systems. Far too much hoopla and backslapping about the new file system that drowns out the slightest dissent about updating. Friends who are IT professionals are refusing to update for the time being. My belief is that it was released prematurely and is far too buggy. What IS needed is "stability".Ĭlick to expand.There are MANY reasons not to update. The "latest and greatest" OS becomes unnecessary. I've done that already.įor something like audio production work (I use Cubase and an Echo AudioFire), it's probably best to "stay back" anyway - with a setup that you KNOW works. That means creating an EXTERNAL boot drive, which (from time to time) I boot with and "test drive", as updates become available. If it was ME, I'd "stay back" with an OS that was "known good" to me UNTIL I had experimented with "the next step forward" to the point where I was satisfied that it would work.
That's your choice, no one else can make it for you.

" I am experiencing the well-documented issue with Sierra whereby certain USB audio interfaces don't work properly due to Apple's unceremonious deprecation of a certain packet streaming interface in their class-compliant USB audio driver. If Apple are unlikely to provide support for Sierra, is there some way I can easily obtain the updated kext and back-port it to Sierra? What is Apple's general policy towards releasing bug-fixes for an OS that was only superseded a few months ago? For context, I purchased my iMac from an Apple store only two months ago and it shipped with Sierra, so should I expect this to be supported? It seems ridiculous that a user of a new machine should have to choose between having working audio on a relatively immature OS, or having broken audio on a more mature OS.
