USB Pre by Sound Devices is no longer being recognized after 10.6.5 update

After updating to 10.6.5, the USB Pre is no longer recognized. The device is powered, meaning the green lights are initiated, but the system does not see the machine.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

Hi,

Got the same issue here ! This was the reply from sounddevices;
Good morning Steven,

Thank you for reporting this. We have had several complaints about the
latest Mac update causing the older USBPre's not to be recognized any
more and we are currently looking for a solution for it. Once we
determine a work around and or a fix to this issue, we will make sure to
post it on our website. I will make sure to flag this email and will
keep you updated on what we find. Thanks for your patience, and have a
great day!

Dude, I got some good and bad news!

Found out that the usb driver of http://www.usb-audio.com/ is working !!
Bad news; it costs a sh*tload of money for something that should be working with the factorydrivers in the first place.

So, if you really need to have this thing up and running, there is a solution 🙂
I already informed sounddevices and they told me they didn't know this..........
