Sonoma breaks hardware attached USB sound input / output devices

Hey all,

I've been having the same issue with my Behringer UMC22 - I've just found this

https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/15437020104082-macOS-Sonoma-Recording-Input-Issues

This fixed it! I've alway got the "Voice Isolation" on for when I use my headphones, turned this off and my interface went back to working as normal!

I was able to start it working again. I think the problem was that audio interface been plugged in to USB during OS upgrade. Powering off the interface does not fix the problem. Finally I solved it by running my interface on windows. After it started to work on Windows it works fine with macos sonoma. Therefore I think the problem is with the upgrade process.

Under Sonoma 14.1 the iTrack solo issue has been resolved!

Anything else I can try, apart from reverting back to Ventura?

Reverting may be your only option until/if Focusrite comes up with a fix.

This is frustrating and surprised that it should have happened, when software updates should be beta tested...

Software upgrades are tested. However, they are not tested against every hardware/software combination on the planet.

Check with Focusrite Support.

Try resetting NVRAM.

Focusrite are investigating, but it is more than likely to be an Apple fix...

FWIW, it's up to Focusrite to make sure their products are compatible, not the other way around. It's also up to users to make sure a new upgrade works with their software and hardware before upgrading.

I have this problem with the new Sonoma 14.1.1 update on a MacBook Pro M2. I use Corsair 
Virtuoso XT connected by USB wireless dongle that disconnect every second but I noticed a 
peculiarity, when I connect any cable to the 3.5 jack the problem is solved, at least in what 
Apple solves with another update

I saw another thread talking about clicking being an issue. I read one of the comments stating that there were issues when older USB devices were attached. WHen I disconnected my USB C adapter (for my external monitor and external drives) the problem went away.

But when it's connected, I can't click/drag items anywhere, I can't click menu items, I can't click most things. But removing the USB works.

Cannot click on menu items after upgrade … - Apple Community

This is the previous thread that commented on it. I believe the user name was Surfer.

But it sounds like this is happening here as well.

@ APPLE!!! please fix this! This is NOT a small thing.

Big Shot.

All my very simple USB interfaces are dead, not recognized exactly as described by the original thread. It's Apple not all our very simple and standard HW. You are right, we should have researched Sonoma But, APPLE IS A CREATIVE MUSIC COMPANY AND THE FACT THAT I CANNOT GET A SIMPLE AUDIO INTERFACE WORKING WITH SONOMA IS EMBARASSING. I'm ready to go back to PC Fxxx Apple

I have a Rode Mic and a Jabra 75 Headset, and neither can be found after the Sonoma Upgrade.

It isn't related to Focusrite mine Behringer UMC1820 also stopped working after an upgrade to Sonoma.
