Motu Discovery Doesn't see 828es on Mac 5,1
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2024 2:00 pm
Hi Everyone,
I have a Mac 5,1 dual Xeon 3.46ghz processor that is running the latest version of Monterey thru Open Core Legacy Patcher.
I just added a 828es as the primary interface replacing a 828mk3 firewire interface to my rig along with 2 8Pre firewires via ADAT and a Presonus 32R via AVB.
I have a Titan Ridge 2.0 flashed for Mac in slot 4 PCI and system report shows it with the 828es connected to it.
I also have a Sonnet Macfiver in PCI slot 2 and a AMD Radeon RX6800 in PCI slot 1.
Motu Discovery doesn't see the 828es even though the system report shows it connected.
I did the installation as follows
Install latest Motu Pro Audio Installer with no interfaces connected to the Mac.
After software installation I authorized the Motu drivers in the System Security Preferences
Then I rebooted the Mac.
Then I connected the 828es via Thunderbolt using a Cables Matters Thunderbolt 2 cable and an Apple Thunderbolt 3-2 adapter to the Gigabyte Titan Ridge 2.0.
Again system report showed the 828es connected to the Titan Ridge 2.0 but Motu discovery refused to see it.
I tried restarting the Mac with the 828es on but still the same thing.
The only way Motu discovery sees the 828es is if I connect it via USB.
Has anyone else had success with this configuration via Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
Dana
