problem with usb audio in el capitan

So are you a Windows user now (or Unix?).

It's just been a love-hate thing since I started with the machine a few days ago.

It's more akin to Unix than Windows in that things seem robust but you have to do a lot of digging to see what is compatible and the like.

I actually like the machine but this experience has completely crossed Apple off my list forever. Absolutely shocking. Imagine having USB 3 ports that are basically unusable! It's a scandal, to be honest.

Apologies I see yo're still an Apple user but are using an older OS etc.

I just packaged my MacBook Pro up and shall be returning it for refund tomorrow morning. After just two or three days.

Absolutely unbelievable from Apple, I'll never buy Apple again. Absolutely shocking.

Actually I use Windows 7 on my main computer and have built commercial Windows PC's for professional use. It a much more open system which makes it difficult for many to grasp (too many choices) but Windows (at least 7 is) highly configurable and can be super fast and efficient.

Still use Logic a lot for personal use.

I used to be "in the loop" and spec my own PCs but I'm now "out of the loop" and so Apple appealed (a few good product choices, easy to choose).

I can see I'm going to have to get back into the loop...

I don't care about having the latest/greatest operating system, I'm more concerned with efficiency, handling speed and the OS being user configurable.

One thing Apple has done, I could get smacked around for saying this.. a good portion of Apple users have gotten used to letting Apple do the thinking for them... as an educator I know from experience this is not necessarily a good thing. "It just works" can also mean "I don't have to think". I look for challenges in everything I do, If I'm not learning, I'm not happy. Anyway... from my experience with clients and online forums... a lot of Mac users can't figure out what to do when something is not working, they rely on Apple and not enough on themselves to patiently work through a problem... yes, it's old school talk, nothing is free, there's always a tradeoff.

Same problem, I work with some usb audio devices (Dirac, ARC, RAW, etc...) and I can´t go to Yosemite again.

Apple!!!! fix the problem yet, please... Another MacBook to the trash bug...😠

imacimacimac,

We are talking about USB Audio devices here... not USB Hard drives.....

Cheers..

Ah! Didn't quite realize the subject was AUDIO DEVICES. Oh well it may help someone.

What are you actually aggregating?

***... Same problem. My Mac Book pro 15 retina El Capitan 10.11.1 didn't recognize M-Audio fire wire 1814 driver...😮

Doing the factory reset now and handing back tomorrow morning to get a full refund.

GUTTED!

Bye Apple.

Started off writing a big reply but in short, I agree with you.

Has the USB audio issue been sorted ? Just upgraded to El Capitan and my B&W MM-1 speakers are sounding choppy when plugged into the USB socket or headphone plug on my Mac Pro
