USB Audio Failing | Apple Developer Forums

Developer Forums

I've observed USB audio seems to fail in El Capitan Developer Preview 1 using a CEntrance HiFi-M8. This device supports a range of 2 channel 24 bit formats (44.1KHz, 48.0KHz, 88.2KHz, 96.0KHz, 176.4KHz, 192.0KHz, etc.). While it worked just great in Yosemite, what seems to occur now is a grainy/garbled sound that seems a bit like the wrong format is being played even when 44.1KHz is selected in Audio MIDI setup and a 44.1KHz file is played in iTunes or in Safari.

nuForce Icon Dac (USB / CoreAudio) not even recognized by 10.11 GM, i think this is going to be a really bad release for USB audio users....

The audio of my Native Instruments Komplete 6 audio interface deteriorates (almost like bitrates gets lower and lower) after playing 10-30 minutes befores it gets inaudible. Unplugging USB in and out solves the problem as does changing Hz from e.f. 44,1 to 48 and back. This happens in GM Candidate 1.

Using a Beyer Dynamic USB Headphone DAC on a 2015 MacBook running 10.11.1. Sounds great.

Audio Kontrol 1 worked perfectly in Yosemite. Now it works but if i attacch my usb/midi keyboard, as soon as i play a couple of notes, it start to crackle hardly in the right channel only. If i detach the keyboard it still crackle. I need to reboot the MacBook to make it work again and sometimes it go in kernel panic too :( very very sad :(

Same problems here. USB Nuforce uDac 2.

The problems for me started with the 4th or so release of the Beta and hasn't dissapeared since (including the Gold Master and Beta 11.1 release...)

Is there any updates to this yet? I cannot use my Tascam US-1800 interface since el Capitan. What is a good resource for this combination of tools?

the way I see it we're left out in the cold. Apple will not work to make the os compatible with the failing audio interfaces, but wait for the manufacturers to update their drivers. Here is a list... http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/el-capitan-mac-os-x-10-11-compatibility-information/

Since US-1800 is listed as "discontinued" (http://tascam.com/product/us-1800/downloads/) our solution is to either go back (and stay there...) to osx 10.10 or get another audio interface. Darn. VERY dissapointed... :-(
