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.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4
