Nevertheless, USB 2.0 has been made to work well in zillions of interfaces, and so its widespread presence in the computing ecosystem is justified. USB 3.0 is full-duplex, and 10x the raw speed of USB 2.0, but I have not seen any audio interface products using USB 3.0. Although I hate to speculate, I think that the advent of USB 3.1 (2x the speed of USB 3.0) with its likely lower chipset cost and speed comparable to Thunderbolt-1 will change the computing landscape yet again. Well see.

Ive selected USB in the setup section of the console and Reaper is not detecting the x32 as an interface.

What am I doing wrong It says that it works with CoreAudio so I shouldnt need any other drivers.

X32 How To Get This

People who have successfully done this with a Mac, was it as simple as plug in and play Ive looked for a while and can find anything online showing me how to get this done.

X32 Download A Coreaudio

Sounds like you need to download a coreaudio driver for the X32.

Dear Ham of Truth, On the Mac the X32 is Core Audio compliant, so no driver is needed.

Very plug and play.

I am assuming that you have selected the type of connection you are using on the X32 to your Mac On the X32 you go to the Setup menu, click the Card Tab, and select USB or Firewire depending on how you are connected to your Mac.

I might also try to turn the X32 on first and then boot your Mac.

Hope this helps. Best Regards, Joe Sanborn Manager, Product Support MUSIC Group BEHRINGER.

It has worked fine for over a year and now suddenly the X32 is not connecting to the computer.

I have tried my Mac Book Pro here at home and it seems to work fine.

Any ideas what might be going on with this other computer Thanks.

Herman, I am trying to parse the sentence that describes your diagnostic moves.

You tested your MacBook Pro on the churchs X32, and it works As Mr.

Sanborn wrote long ago, check whether the X32 setup screen may have been changed fromto USBFirewire.

Herman, Imusthavemoredata Was the Mini just rocking along and then failed What were the symptoms of the failure Did someone change a cable or a software setting (sample rate, input choice, etc.) Are you using USB or Firewire, and do you have the option (XUF card) in your X32 to choose between them The answers will help set a direction of the inquiry.

Keep going.

The mini is connected via Firewire and was rocking along well and just failed.

Interestingly, I took my old Firepod up there last night and it would not connect either.

It almost seems as if the firewire port on the mini has stopped working.

So, my plan is to try to connect the X32 via USB (we do have the XUF card) tonight and that should help me tell if this is a Firewire issue or a Core Audio issue.

If USB will work to record 24 tracks, Ill just stick with that.

USB 2.0 has always made me a little uncomfortable.

There is no need to be concerned about the capacity of a USB 2.0 interface.

It has sufficient bandwidth to comfortably carry more than 100 times the data that would come fromto an X32.

The weakness of USB 2.0 is that its a half-duplex protocol (one differential data pair with sendreceive turnaround done via the CPUdriver).

Firewire is a full-duplex protocol with dedicated send receive pairs and a sophisticated arbitration protocol.

Nevertheless, USB 2.0 has been made to work well in zillions of interfaces, and so its widespread presence in the computing ecosystem is justified.

USB 3.0 is full-duplex, and 10x the raw speed of USB 2.0, but I have not seen any audio interface products using USB 3.0.
