Any confirmed working USB2.0 audio interfaces with latest macbook pro (haswell USB3.0)?

I recently got a new macbpook pro 15" 2GHz i7 (Haswell)
As far as I can tell my USB audio interface just doesn't work with the new USB3.0 ports.
My Echo Audio Echo2 interface simply doesn't work, no sound in or out, but does show up in preferences.
I can confirm the interface works fine on older USB2 macbooks and desktops.
As I use the macbook pro for live performace it's important for me to find a USB audio interface which is actually confirmed as working with the new macbooks!
Any ideas?

Unfortunately this still isn't working for me, even with 10.9.2
Guess it's tme to buy a new soundcard

Recommendations for audio interface with new mac pro to avoid latency?

Hi friends,
I have a new Mac Pro on order for editing video in FCPX, but Presonus says my older Presonus Firebox won't work with Mavericks and the new Mac Pro. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement?
I only use the interface to drive 2 powered expternal speakers and a headset, so I don't need something super sophisticated.
As I read about units, almost all come with USB 2.0 connections. But the new Mac Pro only offers USB, Thunderbolt 2, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI 1.4 Ultra HD inputs. If I can't find a fairly inexpensive audio interface with USB 3.0, I'd have to go through another connection to get into the Mac Pro.
The key for me is to make sure and avoid latency, a critical issue for editing video.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Duncan

Thanks Mark and Smokerz,
Your point about USB2 working in USB3 ports is something I wasn't aware of. That opens a lot of doors for me. And I'll look into the Yamaha sound board as one possibility.
Thank you both for helping me.

Strange audio problem with my MacBook Pro

Hello everyone,
first of all I should say that this is not the well known "no-audio-from-internal-speakers-and-red-light-burning-on-microphone-jack" audio issue on many MacBook Pros. However, I still hope some of you experts can help me.
Here's what happens. At some point of the last few days, I realized I was not getting any sound from my Mac's internal speakers except the typical boot sound on startup. Then I opened the System Preferences/Sound window and saw that I have only one output option: "Headphones - Headphone port". No internal speakers at all. This doesn't mean I can use my headphones at all... When I connect them to the computer with my System Preferences still open, then the option "Headphones" change automatically to "Digital out" and no sound comes out of them. If I take them out, then I can see the red light for about half a second, then it's off. Ironically, I still can hear some sound (even perfect audio) out of my headphones when I don't put them completely into the jack but at some very unstable point at about 90% of the connector's size.
I can use the function keys F10-F12 to mute or turn up and down the sound... Everything seems to work - still no sound comes out. I thought of course of a hardware problem but I can hear the mac startup din-dong effect like always and I even let the AHT run with no negative results. I also tried repairing the hard disk permissions, as I read somewhere, with the Disk Utility. Still no results.
Anyone to give me a clue what's happening on my Mac? I bought it about 2 months ago, and the software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.6).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Luis

Hi friends
I too have a macbook pro running 10.6.6 and an odd audio problem which has recently shown itself and although different to Luiscv's problem, may well be related.
My audio works fine through the built in speakers but gets all fruity with some but not all audio as soon as I plug in the headphones. I get crystal clear audio when playing mp3's through quicktime whether I have the headphones plugged in or not.
youtube flash movies through Safari and VLC .mkv files are problematic. I do get audio but the stereo sound somehow gets split so the dialogue gets very quiet and fuzzy and the musical soundtrack gets louder.
If this is a codec/decompression issue why does the sound come good when I unplug the headphones? Why are some files totally fine with both headphones and internal speakers?
I have updated perian, zapped p-ram, repaired permissions all to no avail.
Thanks in advance to anyone able to solve this one.
Best wishes,
Wayne Batistic

How can i get in work my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

how can i get in use my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

Audio Problems with connecting Macbook Pro to Tv

Hello,
I connected my Macbook Pro to my 42 inch Vizio with a Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male Cable with Audio Transmission. The picture is set to Mirror image and the picture is fine but I can not get any sound to tranfer from my Macbook to my Vizio. From my understanding of HDMI I shouldn't need a the standard RCA red/white audio cords to connect the sound from my Macbook to my tv. I did hear that Macbooks made before April 2010 can not transmit audio without using the red/white audio cords.
I've looked into the sound output on my Macbook and I was assuming my Vizio would display on there to click on to convert audio transmission from my Mac to tv but I don't see anything. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it greatly.

I fixed this on my HDTVs by simply turning off all automatic and post processing features.
Color/brightness etc...
Put everything possible on manual and turn off any color corrections and such things.
There really should be a Computer mode on all the HDTVs.

CAN CINEMA DISPLAY BE USED WITH LATEST MACBOOK PRO?

I'm considering buying the newest 15" macbook pro and using it formy desktop and mobile computer. I use a 27" cinema display. My"computer guy" said that the current macbook pro i have (the modelbefore this latest one) could not handle being plugged into a cinemadisplay because the graphics card was not powerful enough. Does anyoneknow if these latest models can be used with a cinema display?

If it uses ADC
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter
<http://www.amazon.com/Apple-M8661LL-Display-Adapter-4038234011420/dp/B00011KHT2>
and a Mini DisplayPort or HDMI to DVI adapter. (The Mac Mini should come with a HDMI to DVI adapter.)

Any known ID CS5.5 issues with new MacBook Pro (mid 2012)?

ID CS 5.5 Version 7.5.3
Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
MacBook Pro 13 in (mid 2012)
ID crashes while deleting pages.
No such issues with my previous MacBook Pro (mid 2009) or a 27 in IMAC (mid 2010). Same software versions. Any ideas?

Yeah, I was kinda worried since it is new. I thought maybe I could somehow adjust the brightness on the screen to make the bottom and corners brighter. And perhaps it was a software issue that was causing the keyboard to malfunction. And definitely have no clue about the headphone jack noises. And the bent display. Hmmm. I guess I will call AppleCare.

Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
Here is what I see in my Garageband:
Preferences >
Audio/MIDI >
- System Setting
- Built-in Microphone
- Built-in Input
- H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
Of course I have selected the H4.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

Playing DVDs in 5.1 With Firewire Audio Interface Connected for Logic Pro

This is exactly the same q as asked by plantwebguy in July 06, link
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2696970#2696970...
I'm struggling to get an answer on this anywhere... I have Logic Pro running 5.1 Surround Mixes on a g5, using a Metric Halo Mobile IO Firewire audio interface - its 6 analog outs are connected to a M Audio LX4 powered surround system. It all works great - until... the problem is when I need to listen to DVDs with 5.1 soundtracks (for reference), or even HD trailers (with 5.1 soundtracks). With the Mobile IO selected as audio interface, DVDs only play in stereo. I think this is because the 5.1 soundtrack is only output thru the optical out - but connecting the optical out to the Mobile IO and selecting 'Digital out' on the g5 brings silence.. Im told this is because the MIO's optical in wont decode 5.1. I'm interested to hear from anyone with a Pro Audio interface - like a MOTU etc - who needs to switch between mixing their own music in 5.1 and then listening to DVDs in 5.1.. I cant be the first, surely?
Plantwebguy said he solved his issue with VLC. Do we know if VLC willl decode 5.1 and then output it to the Interface via Firewire? I've searched the net for a Pro Audio interface with (1) 6 analog outs & mic inputs etc (2) firewire connection and (3) optical in that reads AC3/5.1 etc (rather than just ADAT).... nada. Sorry to be long-winded but I cant get a solution anywhere..
Thanks in advance

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac.

I have a Seagate Slim Portable 500 GB USB 3.0 external hard drive that worked great with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina but gets ejected and won't show files on any iMac. My Macbook Pro and the two different iMacs I tried it on were all using Mountain Lion, so the only difference was the iMac versus Macbook Pro.

I just tried this, no luck...
I connected a different USB cable, still the same problem. Tried both cables with the problematic hard drive on two different computers, still the same problem.
At this point I assume I'll probably need professional help in saving the files, thanks for the assistance.

Audio Interface with Logic-best bet?

I've been using a Firepod for the last 2 years and it's fine but today a friend of mine brought over a MOTU MK3 Traveller and it sounds so much better. He got it recently but has to sell it and offered it to me for a good deal. It's got me thinking that maybe I should have a look at some other stuff before committing so now I'm looking at the Duet or maybe even an Ensemble. The Firepod was nice because of all the inputs but I could live with only two(Duet) but would much prefer four mic inputs(Ensemble).
The Ensemble might be out of my budget at the moment so do I buy the MOTU MK3 Traveller(four inputs) off my friend or get the Duet?
Any Advice?

I have and love the Apogee Duet, and it has served me well so far at home and doing field recordings with my Macbook Pro.
For instance, last week I recorded a sitar concert, and brought a small setup - a matched set of Rode NT1As, an A.R.T. MPA GOLD two channel tube pre, and my Macbook Pro/Duet combo. I barely had any time to get situated, and what's more, I got pulled into setting levels for the PA, which was kind of dicey, since the sitar master opted to forgo doing a soundcheck before the concert, so I had to wing it.
Before I scooted over to the board for the PA, I took an educated guess at some levels for the Duet and MPA GOLD. The Duet has such a low noise floor and such ample headroom that my educated guess was more than good enough. What's more, it is quite easy to use, so it took no time at all to dial in the gain setting I wanted, using the Maestro software that comes with it. The recording sounds gorgeous, considering the rushed circumstances of its setup. I would describe the quality of the Duet's sound as "crystalline."
That said, if you are looking for more channels in but are not ready to spend Ensemble money, we have a Mackie Onyx 1620 at work (or 1640 - I don't remember) that I use all the time for tracking all kinds of performers. Its pres are quiet and transparent, although they only provide so much gain. We run 4 channels of outboard pres through compressors and into four of the Onyx's pres. 8 XLR ins, 8 more ins arrayed in stereo pairs, all 16 channels are piped via Firewire 400 into Logic, and the two output channels back out. Plus, its a great mixer for conventional mixing purposes - good eq, simple, sturdy design. Not bad for under $1,000. I just saw they have a newer version out - the Onyx 1620i, but I don't know what that "i" is designating as far as improvements. They make Onyx mixers in several models, each with a different number of channels, so maybe one of these would work for you...
I hope this was helpful!
