Is there anyway to use macOS 10.11 apps on big sur?

I bought a soundcard and his drivers are only compatible between macOS 10.06 and 10.11(It also works on 10.14 but not officially).

How can I install the drivers via the pkg using macOS big sure?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Like Catalina, Big Sur only supports 64 Bit Applications, extensions and Drivers of any type. There is not workaround for anything written for 32 bit.


You are right - the driver in question may have worked in Mojave as it was the last macOS still supporting 32 bit drivers, extensions and applications.
