SaschaFranck Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi, I thought Helix was supposed to be a class compliant USB audio device (which is why it's also working nicely on iPads/iPhones, from all I know). As such, it should show up on my old Macbook running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), at least other class compliant devices do. But the Helix won't. Is there any secrect setting I didn't find yet? On my Zoom UAC-2, there's a switch allowing switch between "class compliant" and "driver supported" (or so), but I can't find anything like that in Helix' globals or wherever. Thanks in advance for any pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraftybob Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have a Late 2009 iMac running OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra) and have no problems running HX Edit or connecting my Helix LT. Can you see the Helix in Garage Band or your sound settings (System Preferences/Sound/Input)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaschaFranck Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Well, my OSX is *way* older (Snow Leopard was released in 2009), so there's no way to run anything from Line6 on it anymore, be it HX Edit or the actual driver. But, the same is true for my Zoom Interface - it does work fine in class compliant mode, though. And from all I know, Helix is supposed to work like that, too - at least I remember that @Digital_Igloo once posted something about it.

kraftybob Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Yep - Snow Leopard is not listed as a supported OS in the HX Edit download. Interesting that your Zoom still works though. You're in a spot that I will find myself in very soon - great that the Mac lasted so long, but nobody's developing anything for the OS now.

SaschaFranck Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 See, I'm not talking about HX Edit, just about using the Helix as a class compliant audio interface. The mixer app of my Zoom isn't working under SL, either, but I can still use it as a simple stereo I/O device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
