TonePort UX2 Mojave - no sound after sleep - *Workaround*

[Tetsujin]

I don't know whether this is common knowledge yet, or even if Line6 are aware, but I thought I'd give this issue a heads-up.

Googling for it you get a lot of 'new permissions' results which are not the same as this issue.

 

After some indeterminate period, after having used audio all day/week [I only reboot for beta OS updates] I find I have no sound through the UX-2.

Not only that, but no video will play either - YourTube spins forever, VLC hangs & must be force-quit. System 'beeps' through the onboard speaker are still OK.

 

So far, the only fix has been to reboot - until today when I discovered a very simple workaround.

 

Open Audio MIDI Setup & in the Audio page change the TonePort UX2 to another sampling frequency.. wait 2 seconds. You have sound.

You can change it back if necessary after that & it will continue working... well, until next time.

 

Set it to Keep in Dock for easy access.

 

Note: I've specified 'after sleep' in the title, though this isn't strictly true as this machine is set to never sleep - but it is after a period being unattended, potentially after the screens go black, but before the secure login is presented. [I have screen off at 20 mins & Require Password at 1 hour.]
