Apogee Symphony and Pro Tools 9 via USB?

[Brown Teeth]

Hello,
I am trying to use an Apogee Symphony with Pro Tools 9 via USB.
I am not sure what driver I would need other than it needs to be a Core Audio one. There is nothing on Avid's website to clarify what I need.
I have installed all the most recent software updates. ( Symphony 2.1 and Pro Tools 9.0.1 )
Pro Tools or itunes for that matter do not notice the Symphony at all!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

If you mean the symphony I/o, it's not yet capable of that yet. It will be in the next firmware update. Right now it won't work as a USB interface.

Ouch!
Is anybody aware of when the Symphony I/O firmware update for USB connection is going to be available?
Thanks for the quick reply nst7

The release schedule is on this page:

http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/symphony-io.php

It doesn't give a date, but it should be soon. This whole schedule is far later than they originally expected (All the updates were supposed to be done by December).

As of now, to use it as an interface, it can hook up via Apogee Symphony card to PCI (or mobile PCI Express on a laptop), or it can hook up to a Protools HD card for HD systems, or it can work in standalone converter mode, via spidf or Adat, if you have another interface you can use.
