Eleven Rack not recognized by Macbook Pro as a "Sound" device

[spc777]

Hello. New user here. Thank you for this community!
So I hope this isn't already covered elsewhere (I searched)...
I am using my new Eleven Rack with a Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.
I have installed the latest Eleven Rack drivers.
I am not using Protools but am using Logic Pro Studio, using 11R as my primary interface for recoding and monitoring.
Problem:
When I plug the 11R into my Macbook, it is not recognized as an audio device so I can select it for use as the primary audio device (listening to itunes tracks, monitoring in Logic).
Unless I reboot my system, it doesn't appear in the Setup, Sound menu.
Steps I'm taking:
1. After rebooting with the 11R on, it is available and defaults as the sound device for all audio.
2. I use 11R to record in Logic and all is good.
3. I disconnect my Macbook so I can use it elsewhere other than my studio.
4. I reconnect the 11R USB to my Macbook
5. I go into Macbook "System Preferences", then select "Sound", and the 11R is not in the"Output" or "Input" devices. No matter how many different ways I connect it (power on, then connect; power off, then connect), the 11R is not appear on the menu.
6. I have to reboot the Macbook with 11R on to get the Macbook to "see" it and then it defaults to the 11R as the Input and Output device.

So I want to be able to connect and reconnect the 11R without having to reboot each time (as a good USB device should do!).
I tried different USB cables and that did not work.
Please advise and thanks for your help!

After plugging in your 11r to your Mac and launching LogicPro X have you gone to Logic Pro X >> Preferences>>Audio and selected the 11r as your input/output device?

Yes. But the 11R is not listed there because the Macbook doesn't recognize it. After I reboot and the Mac defaults to 11R as the audio device, it can then be selected as my audio interface in Logic.

Hey SPC777, Just wondering if you ever solved this issue, as I have exactly the same problem! My issue is I like to turn the Eleven off when I leave the house, and when I come back, I always have to restart my Mac to get it to recognise it again!

Did you reach a conclusion mate?
