Buckstance Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Make sure you don't have any M2tech HiFace 1 drivers installed and HiFace 2 should work fine in Mavericks and USB3. Try to pm debenedetti (hope you don't mind) as we got his working. Link to comment
Razvyyy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thank you for the answer, i reinstalled from zero first mountain lion than mavericks, so i have no hiface 1 drivers. Link to comment
Buckstance Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 In that case, perhaps you may have a hardware problem but it would be very rare. Do you know anyone with another MAC to try it with? Just tried mine on my 2013 MacBook Air and it worked fine ( it is usually on a Mac mini). Sorry can't be more helpful. Link to comment
Razvyyy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I sent to debenedetti a message, my problem it seems exactly as his. I will post here my results. Thanks agin! Link to comment
Razvyyy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I spoke with the man...he still have the same problem ! It seems that is a problem with the SSD Fusion technology and the USB 3.0. Everybody is waiting for a software solve of the problem. My question is: it can be fixed by software or is a hardware issue ? Link to comment
Buckstance Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ok, that's the difference then. I have a conventional SSD's in all my machines not fusion drives. Link to comment

Fig Newton Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Good day to all, I installed the aync W4S driver last week, according to Huy's instructions, and got it working with my EVO. Tried listening to some music yesterday and I cannot see the driver anymore in sound outputs even after a few reinstalls. I have a Macbook Pro with Mavericks installed. Anybody have a clue as to what is happening ? Regards. Link to comment

Fig Newton Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Strange, after re-installing the driver, I get "No such file or directory" when I run Huy's commands. Link to comment
seanrr Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thank you Huy! I got your recipe working with my JKDAC 32. I should note that it seemed to only work when I did the recommended step of changing the driver name to hiface.1.usb...something something. Anyways, I am so happy to have my main DAC back in the mix, and it is all thanks to Huy. To those who have problems with the procedures, I recommend to keep trying. It took a few times for me to get it working, but once it did, it seems quite stable. Link to comment
seanrr Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 By the way, has anybody had any problems using this solution (the W4S driver) with Amarra. When I use it with Amarra, the sound begins to "warble" after a bit, especially with high resolution files. This may be an Amarra problem, but it did not happen when I was on Mountain Lion. My music library has increased substantially in recent months - would that put more pressure on Amarra, or do you think this is a Mavericks issue or a driver issue? Link to comment

seanrr Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hmmm...that doesn't help me much since my DAC is usb input only - JKDAC32. I can always go back to using my Peachtree, but the whole point of using this driver was to get my JKDAC back into place. I guess I can use this solution until HIFACE comes out with something intended for their product. Link to comment
Huy Hong Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 For anyone looking for hiFace Two support, the W4S drivers won't do you any good. Those drivers only apply for specific vendorId and productId and it's unlikely the hiFace Two uses the same value as the hiFace One. Installing the W4S drivers, with or without my mods, won't do anything. You'll have to look for M2Tech for help. For those not seeing the hiFace One on boot, you may have to run "sudo kextload -b 'com.async.driver.async192'" in terminal after boot. Device will pop back up in Sound Preferences right after. Happens to me when I reboot (which is almost never), currently slammed with other work so can't troubleshoot. Link to comment
Huy Hong Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 As for Amarra, don't use it unfortunately so can't help on that front either. Sorry. Link to comment
Dandaman Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 This is getting sadder by the day For those who haven't gotten my hacky fix to work, throw me some data about your devices: 1. Download "USB Probe" for 10.7+ – http://touch-base.com/downloads/MacProber/USB_Prober_Mac_OS_X_10.7.3.zip (more info here if you're concerned about what you're downloading) 2. Run it 3. Click on the panels on this screenshot: [ATTACH=CONFIG]10436[/ATTACH] 4. Write down exactly what device you have and the 3 values (or if you can make sense of it, just replace the vendorId and productId in the respective places for the Young DAC) Let me know, Huy Hi Huy! I saw this thread which mentioned hacking a driver (async_155r5) to enable m2Tech based drivers to work under Mavericks and wondered if it would be possible to do so for an Empirical Audio Off Ramp 5. I downloaded and ran the USB Prober you suggested and have the screenshot below for your reference. Thanks! Dan Link to comment

[ATTACH=CONFIG]11385[/ATTACH] Dan Hey Dan, You have an old driver installed still that's conficting with the newer ones. Try running: kextfind -b "com.veldom.driver.EM_Usb" to find the old .kext file. Run open /System/Library/Extensions and find that .kext file and delete it. Then sudo kextunload -b 'com.veldom.driver.EM_Usb' should remove that driver completely. Then follow the rest of the instructions. Huy Link to comment
greentrumpet Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Living in the south of England, not too far from Italy I believe I just saw a smoke signal saying "new drivers in two weeks" but it may just have been a rain cloud. Link to comment
Buckstance Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That cloud appeared over the north of England about a month ago, turned out not be a cloud at all, but pie in the sky! Link to comment

Huy Hong Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Whoops... spoke just a bit too soon. Now getting (reduced) choppiness under A+. Any ideas why sound would cut in and out? Are you using the W4S drivers or the Northstar ones? Your original comment about the "async_155r5" suggests the latter. Try the W4S drivers, those don't emit any crackling/static for me.
