HD driver and question answered about compatibility with Blue interfaces.
[edited] I ran into some issues with the newest HD drivers because I had not installed the corresponding Pro Tools version. I'm going to leave the post though in case it helps someone else avoid the same issue.
---------------------------------------------------- I was considering going from 12.5.1 HDX, OS X 10.5.5 to 12.7 while I had projects finished up. I have an Avid i/o and an old blue 192. I decided to install the HD driver first to see if it caused issues. I've always been concerned about "breaking" the 192. I use 8 analog when I need more than 16 (which is rare) and I use 8 AES daily for routing to outboard. I installed the new 12.7 HD driver and AES on the blue stopped working. I uninstalled it and instead did the 12.6.1 driver and it was still broken. Fortunately I still had the installer for 12.5.1 and installed the HD driver and it fixed the problem. Honestly, I don't know if this it and I will not be upgrading beyond this point, or the issue was that I put in HD drivers that were beyond the 12.5.1 software. If anyone can confirm they are using AES with HDX and the blue interface, that would be great, but I wanted to let people know my experience and possibly save them some hassle. I know a lot of people are still using those interfaces.

That's a new thing started with 12.6. AFAIR. Check with support if you're eligible for free asset otherwise it's one time payment for all interfaces you have and costs $299 in Avid store

Yes, I have it. And everything worked but the digital I/o on the blue.

Re: Using a blue 192 i/o? Beware the HD 12.6.1 and on driver
Check your i/o setting. Mine was completely hosed when I first got in touch with new HD drivers. I had to reassigned everything from the scratch and then all was all right with my Blue interfaces including AES i/o on HD 192.

Re: Using a blue 192 i/o? Beware the HD 12.6.1 and on driver
Well they were grayed out. I guess I'd love some confirmation that digital I/o still works on 12.7. I know they had to a complete rewrite and since the blues are no longer supported, it might have disabled them. Not intentionally, but at some point I assume they will stop working with the latest software, either Avid or Apple. If I were prudent I'd just freeze the system but I enjoy knowing how to use the latest features.

Thanks. Possibly it didn't work because I hadn't actually done the 12.7 update.

New HD drivers work only with 12.6.1 and later. Cheers! :)

I'm happy to delete the thread entirely if it causes problems, but for now I edited it so others don't make the same mistake I did.
