Connecting YES2 PSR-172 to Garageband Before I get into this question, I want to say that I am not sure if this is even related to apple and this is my first time attempting to connect anything external to GarageBand. As the title says, I have a Yamaha Education Suite 2 model PSR-172. I am trying to connect my keyboard to GarageBand with a Forge MIDI In-Out to USB. When I go to the Audio/MIDI Preferences on GarageBand, it says 1 MIDI device detected but when I press record and play on my keyboard, nothing happens. I have seen many questions quite similar to this one but are out-dated and have a MIDI interface connected to their Mac instead of an adapter like I do. I have gone over and over the manual and can't find anything related to connecting to an AU application. My OS is MacOS Catalina 10.15.7.

Yamaha Midi driver with Macbook M1 (Apple Silicon) - Midi interface OK, Not recognizing Audio interface Hi, I've always used my Synth/Keyboard Yamaha MOX8 with Windows and I've never had problems to the Driver recognize the audio and/or midi interface. The Synth has internal audio interface. I just bought a MacBook with an M1 chip (Apple Silicon) and it's on macOS Monterey 12.4. I installed the latest version available from the Yamaha website: 1) Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V3.1.1 for Mac macOS 11/12(Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2). https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver_for_mac.html 2) USB-MIDI Driver V1.5.0 for Mac macOS 12, 11 (Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2) https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/usb_midi_driver_for_mac.html When trying to use it with the keyboard, the MacBook is recognizing the midi interface (I can see it in the "Midi Studio" screen, but it does not recognize the audio interface, that means, I am able to control VST, exchange midi signals, but neither the operating system nor the DAW is recognizing the audio interface. Note 1: I already tested using the original keyboard cable + USB HUB, as well as I bought a new USB-B to USB-C cable, connecting directly to the Macbook and the result was the same. There was no difference. Note 2: In the installation guide of item 2, ask to confirm that the installation was successful if we have files in the folder: /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIDriver.plugin /Library/PreferencePanes/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIPatch.prefPane I checked and besides the installation report as successfully finished, the files are not in the folder.

Hello IconicDesignz,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to use your Steinberg audio interface with GarageBand on your Mac. To help with this, please make sure you have the USB driver installed from this Steinberg website:
