Ask HN: USB audio interface driver (macOS)
I don't expect to find a solution here, but I'm curious if anyone has thoughts.
My wife is a musician and she is very nostalgic about the sound she got when recording with a ~20 year old audio interface (the original M-Box from Digidesign/ProTools, now AVID).
Anyways, some years ago there ceased being an official driver for this and we bought a 3rd party generic USB driver from usb-audio.com , and this worked on OSX intel mac.
Well, we have Apple Silicon macs and to my dismay I have not been able to find any way to get this device working.
My question is - what are the challenges involved in having USB device support persist through mac OS versions? It seems crazy to me that something as basic as an audio interface can become a paperweight, especially considering it's not using some strange connectivity interface, it's freakin USB.
