suppose the update is mainly for Sierra compatibility.

*sigh*

There was a time - for what seems now like several years - when my MOTU audio hardware and drivers were one of the few things I DIDN'T need to worry about or question. My 828s just worked.

I don't know what's happening these days. (Likely Apple messing about with the system? Older equipment going wonky?) But my audio hardware, drivers, settings are requiring active intervention almost weekly now. Random drop outs, weird performance issues, you name it.

There was no "dividing line", no one install after which things got wonky. Just a slow accretion of dysfunction.

I'm actually afraid to install the new drivers for fear that I will trade this imperfect mess for something worse.
