Logic Pro x crash at initializing core audio

Hello everyone !

I have first version of MacBook Pro Retina 13inch with 2,9GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB ram, OS X 10.9

Latest Logic Pro X version and latest Garage Band version.

In both programms i have the same problem with "Initializing core audio".

Problem started when I bought new audio card : Steinberg UR22 USB AUDIO INTERFACE. Cool and versatile audio card for recording.

(Before I had basic Line 6 GX Pod farm card and everything worked well)

Now I have been fightning with that problems for few weeks and nothing works... (reinstalled Logic, reinstalled OS X, reinstalled drivers)

more info:

Mac know about that card and I can play through UR22 very well, can change sounds in Logic pro and everything looks fine, but after 5 min playing Logic began own "intializing core audo" raw party and he doing it until it crash whole programm.

People, please help me 🙂 I like those programms and i like UR22 audio card and I love Apple.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9), Logic Pro X

Well, if this is the latest driver, and it looks like it is, you can see it's only for operating systems up to 10.8x.

http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads_hardware/downloads_ur22.html

The good news it's a recent interface and drivers for OSX 10.9 will probably be released soon.

Make sure you're not plugged into a hub, plug in directly to the computer.

Set Logic's Preferences/Audio System I/O to 128 or 256

Does the UR22 have a Software applet to configure it? set the audio frequency to 44.1 and the bit-rate to 24.

Thnx for your reply!

I tried it first on OS X 10.8 and there was same problem.

Plugged to the computer.

I tried change the audio frequency to every option - doesnt work.

There is no program with UR22 only "mini cubase".

I try the audio system I/O and bit-rate options. 🙂

Hi!

Did you solve the problem?

I have 2011 MacBook Pro 15", 8GB RAM, I7, OS X 10.7 with the UR22 and Cubase AI 7.

I think about buying Logic Pro X and use OS X 10.8 or 10.9.

Hello man!

I thinks the problem was in the UR22, cause when I changed it to basic Line 6 GX everything works perfectly. But I will change my "broken" UR22 to new soon.

I recommend to use Logic Pro X 🙂 much better than cubase, I think
