Mac does not recognize presonus firestudio driver
Afterwards Universal Control shows Driver Version 0.0.0.0, FS does not initializeĪfter some experimenting, what I did to make it work again: Upgrade to MacOS Catalina (FS not plugged in) However with a method a little more complex I managed to get my FS mobile up and running on my Desktop Mac and my older MacBook pro - both running Catalina:ĭisclaimer: ****** This is not an officially supported workaround (neither by Presonus or Apple for that matter!!), I cannot be responsible for any issues you may encounter and cannot support this method, so try this at your own risk - and be sure to have backups in place or you can revert safely to your old installation. Unfortunately it's not so easy to work around that, simply moving the kext file into the "new" directory with finder did not work for me. And exactly this is not possible anymore since Catalina's implementation of new measures to ensure System Integrity.

I'm pretty sure the reason why the old UC 1.7.6 won't install on Catalina (and later MacOSses to come) is, that the installer wants to put some files into MacOS /System/Library folder - which is considered "not best practice" since long before Mojave and the latest UC updates. All "easy routes" did not seem to fix the problem. The FS did not initialize and the driver Version in UC was 0.0.0.0. On my iMac my Firestudio Mobile (as its the same series I think it applies here as well) it still worked after some "tinkering" I can't recall exactly, but on my my macbook it did not.

I think I’m seeing that if the hardware and software is already installed and you update to Catalina, it still works.
