Allen + Heath DB4 not showing up in OSX or Traktor

Allen + Heath DB4 not showing up in OSX or Traktor

I’m running a 2015 Macbook Air with OSX 10.11.3 and have fully updated drivers and firmware for the soundcard on the DB4 (2.2.2 + 1.4.1 upgrade to firmware and 3.3.11 OSX drivers). The DB4 is connected properly - the hardware shows up in “About this Mac/System Profile” - but it is not recognized as a soundcard by the OS at all (not in Audio Midi Setup, not in Sound Preferences, not in Traktor or other sound programs).

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Oh yeah I should add, the DB4 shows up perfectly fine in other computers (a desktop running 10.12.2 and another laptop whose version of OS I forget). It’s just the Air that’s having the problem so I suspect a faulty driver installation but what would I look for and how would I fix it? I’ve reinstalled the driver a couple times (even using the DB4 uninstall tool first) but to no avail.

Serato has a good step by step guide on what to do when the audio interface (controller) is not detected by the OSX, this is basically the same thing. :wink:

Any idea where to find that guide? Thanks!
