Do you have another adapter to try (Apple double-dongle arrangement)?

The cable is still the most likely failure point.

Thanks for trying to help me!

Yes green solid light and yellow flashing.I changed cable (3 different) but anyway this Carbon show up on my old intel MBP using the same adapter and same cable. I don't have the apple dongles.As Carbon show up in Terminal I think I'm not very far on this, it seems to me an address problem between Mac and Carbon asm the config address is greyed but ...what do I know
Or maybe a M4 compatibility with Carbon but other guys seems to use Carbon on M4 even if there are other problems with Protools but this is another topic.I perfectly know M4 is not supported but I wanted to begin testing and using this wonderful machine (coming from intel it's a huge step forward)
Thank you

Default Re: Mac don't see Carbon at all

So I finally got somebody at Apple and he told me that there are still some bugs in AVB/Sequoia and M4 Macs.Told me to wait for an update but no idea when.Spending a lot of time on forums everywhere, I found people struggling with different AVB units: RME/Presonus etc..so yes there is a problem somewhere.What's strange still is that some people seems to run Carbon with Sequoia on M4 but Mac mini.So far I didn't find anybody trying with a MacBookPro M4 like myself.Well this is where I am, will let you know when I get some news.

There definitely seems to be issues both with M4 based Apple machines and with the evolving state of macOS 15. Stay tuned.

Today I tried again to connect Carbon with MBP and.....it finally works!!MBP see Carbon in AudioMidi set-up.The only thing I changed is install update 15.3.2.Looking at notes about this small security update, no mention of any AVB bug corrected....Well anyway now I can go ahead and try to run PTools.Will let you know how it goes about the bugs some people get on M4.
Thanks to all of you who tried to help me on this.
