Pro Tools 11.3 and Yosemite
 

Recently I upgraded my Mac from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. I went as far as Yosemite, because that is still compatible with v11.3. Right about this time I bought a Midas M32 Live console. I used to be able to use the HDX card for everything, like hear iTunes or YouTube or whatever. Now, it still appears on System Preferences and I click on it, but if I close the window and then reopen it, HDX is no longer selected on the list. I have no access to the HDX card. Don't know if this a Yosemite issue or Midas issue. The Midas worked fine for about 2 days. Now no audio from anything. Any ideas?

I seem To remember something about core audio and Yosemite now that you mention it

We would have to search the DUC to find out for sure

Re: Pro Tools 11.3 and Yosemite
 

Yes ---Core Audio for Avid HD hardware was broken with Yosemite and was not fixed for some 2 1/2 years or so later, in some version of PTHD 12 ( 12.4 -- I think if I remember correctly)

Here is the PT 11.3 Release Notes reference (note again the "driver update" mentioned did not come for over 2 years

"On Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) only, iTunes does not work with HDX or HD|Native hardware using the AvidCoreAudio manager.
(PTSW-194693)"
The Avid CoreAudio Manager is currently not compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and a driver update will be required.

You mention there is a driver required. Do you know if Avid has made this driver available? I can't imagine they've let this go on this long. Thanks for the info.

Problem is which driver and which version of PT will be combatible with Yosem


What are you running?

Re: Pro Tools 11.3 and Yosemite
 

If your asking me ? First What you need to do first is post a detailed system list. Not just reference in your post which is pretty confusing.

Because for example without an I/O interface of some kind. You actually cannot do anything with just an HDX card ?

First as I said the problem only involved Avid HD I/O's it was not an issue with 3 rd party interfaces ...... so What I/O were you using ?

Also note I said the problem is fixed I think it is it was not 12 .4 I think it was 12.6.1 and again the problem only related to AVID HD I/O interfaces people running 3 rd party interfaces did not have that issue

Re: Pro Tools 11.3 and Yosemite
 

HDX driver is included in the PT installer image

Re: Pro Tools 11.3 and Yosemite
 

What do you mean by: "HDX driver is included in the PT installer image"


Is this included when we install PT 11? and does that mean it will work for Yosemite? From the posts it seems that the core driver issue isn't resolved until PT 12? Could you please clarify about the PT installer image?


Also, remember the interface is an Omni HDX? I've also used a Midas console as the interface and it doesn't work either. Some one mentioned that these core driver issues work with 3rd party interfaces. In the case of Midas, it doesn't.
