edirol firewire not working since ventura 13.2

hello,

since i have installed the latest update, my Edirol FA101 audio interface is not detected anymore by my M1 pro. Agreed it's an old interface, but has served well so far and i was hoping this could be fixed.

thanks for any support. cheers.

Apple, please reactivate firewire audio in ventura Hello, i just updated my M1 Macbook Air to Ventura. Unfortunatly my good old Mackie Onyx 1620i mixing console stopped working. It worked with the "dongle-chain" Thunderbolt 3 adapter -> Thunderbolt 2 Adapter -> Firewire Adapter-> Firewire 800 to 400 adapter in Monterey. Now it is shown only as Firewire-Device: Onyx-i: Hersteller: Loud Technologies Inc. Modell: 0x81216 GUID: 0xFF20400000527 Maximal: Bis zu 400 MBit/s Verbindungsgeschwindigkeit: Bis zu 400 MBit/s Untereinheiten: Onyx-i Unit: Softwareversion des Geräts: 0x10001 Spec-ID des Geräts: 0xA02D but not as audio interface.. Is there a change that this will be fixed in future updates or should i throw this device in the bin?

Which audio interfaces work with Macbook Pro M3 Bought a new MacBook Pro M3 Pro Laptop. Realised needed to retire my old Firewire audio interface and bought a new UA Volt 476P. But it isn't working right and currently I can't work.... Not sure if it is due to Sonoma or the M3 chips. The Volt 476P website says it is compatible both with Sonoma and with M1 & M2 Silicon machines. Is anyone using a USB audio interface with a M3 MacBook Pro successfully? Best Tom B.

How to make a FireWire audio device work on Mac OS Ventura Thunderbolt is not that senior that you can drop FireWire audio just yet. However, apparently Apple has discontinued the Firewire CoreAudio driver with macOS 13 Ventura. The question: is there a work-around yet to install the FireWire CoreAudio driver in MacOS 13? Why is this important? Typically, audio interfaces with FireWire are part of the premium market and basically very expensive. (in my case, the Duet 1 from Apogee) As a good housefather, you would expect your investment to work over 20 years, because such a device does not break or deteriorate. Thinking about the e-waste that dropping FireWire support in the software OS is about to create worldwide, this makes it altogether an irresponsible move: hence the need of a solution or a work-around.

Hey there arteborghese,

While you may need to contact Edirol for the steps to check for a possible firmware update, or even a driver update for macOS Ventura since you just updated your Mac, we'd like to help rule out some other things on the Apple end of things:

Do other devices connected to the same port have any issues with your Mac?
If your audio interface needs a power adapter, have you already checked it's firmly plugged into it?
Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart. Check out the section ‘Restart your Mac' here: Shut down or restart your Mac

Cheers!
