Audio Express doesn't work with El Capitan 10.11 Beta

Post by ianshmean »

I just wanted to raise the issue that my Audio Express doesn't work with El Capitan 10.11 Beta (15A263e).

Has anyone else had a chance to test this? or any other MOTU hardware?

I appreciate that it's an unsupported platform, I just thought I'd raise the issue so that it can be addressed asap.

MOTU has a very good track record when it comes to compatability updates when Apple updates the OS, usually within days.

I don't recall them ever making a release to be compatible with beta and would be surprised if they started now.

There are a lot of apps not compatabile wit El Capitan. I expect that to change as 10.11 gets closer to release.

In other words, it's not an issue. Yet.

Great to hear and I agree that it's not an issue worth discussing for now then.

Thanks

It would be good to have an update from MOTU regarding El Capitan compatibility. OS X 10.11 GM is already out and there are several changes at USB level.

My Track 16 does not work on my testing machine, so I'm waiting for my working machine to migrate.

There's really no need for MOTU to do this as a reliable, well-established pattern has been in effect since Adam was a boy:

Soon after non-beta OS releases appear, MOTU gives us drivers if they're necessary (they seldom are), updates DP if necessary (also rarely required) and flags compatibility with the Mac OS on the front page of its website.

Easy, peasy. IOW, none of us has ever had to worry about it.
