Apogee duet drivers snow leopard download app. Ups supported games below is a full list of all the games currently apogee duet 1 driver download. Apogee Duet Update. Can I use my MOTU hardware with Mac OS X v. Snow Leopard? Does my software work with Snow Leopard? We have drivers for our Fire.
3 TEMPORARY WORKAROUNDS for 1st gen Apogee Duet and Lion 10.7.Lion is still considered unsupported by Apogee at this point, so if you upgrade to Lion before Apogee releases an official update to Maestro or the Duet installer software, please don't cry about it here. Just try one of the workarounds below until Apogee releases their official software updates. These workarounds are for those of us who just have to try all the new stuff, or those who updated unknowingly. Let me first state that Im not sure these work across the board, both solutions have worked for different users. Kittyflipping's method seems to work on both new and old machines, so try this process first. If that doesn't work, try #2 and see if that will work for your machine.
Here's the rundown. Problems/Symptoms: You have an original firewire Duet, and installed the latest Maestro/duet installer on your machine running Lion. The Duet initially would show up as an available core audio device in both Logic and system sounds, but would not play back audio. If you try to playback audio or adjust the volume, the Duet would keep disappearing and reappearing as an available core audio device in Logic, same happens if trying to play from iTunes, etc.
System sounds would show the Duet appearing and reappearing as an available device, but still NO audio. Tried rebooting, no dice. Permissions repair, reinstall Maestro, etc. And still the same issues.Workaround solution #1.
(From kittyflipping, also confirmed working by Smeeth123 and HoldernessMedia) 1. Open activity monitor 2. Make sure 'all processes' is selected in the popup menu at the top of the window.
Select DuetDaemon and force quit it. For me I've had to force quit it twice to actually kill it. The Duet should be working fine now. Try the volume knob on the Duet.Additionally, even though the Duet volume knob works fine after this, and system preferences recognizes the Duet, for some reason the volume icon in the menu bar remains grayed out, and my volume up/down keys on MBP don't do anything. So for anyone trying this, be sure and try the duet's volume knob if your keys aren't working. Also, on this solution, user Nitrus submitted this, using the kill duetDaemon method in an applescript.
Click to expand.Workaround solution #2. From Macrumors user VoiceofReason: (verified also by user vtk) 'I have read the fixes so far for the Apogee Duet under OSX Lion, e.g. Killing off 'duetDaemon', etc.
Here's a new one. Disconnect the duet, run the official uninstaller, and let it reboot. Then plug-in the Duet and re-select it as output device. Now, the Duet seems to work just fine and no killing of processes is needed. Of course, you can't go in and run Maestro b/c it doesn't exist, but when I killed of duetDaemon before it was annoying, it still didn't allow me to use the keyboard volume control for the Duet, and I was getting crackling audio with another drive running off the same firewire port. With THIS method (uninstalling the software) it at least works and you get volume control back.' .Workaround solution #3 (Original).
(From HoldernessMedia, also confirmed working for aguaplano). Try this, in THIS EXACT ORDER. Opening Maestro BEFORE trying to do anything with audio is absolutely crucial. This also assumes that you already have the latest Duet installer/Maestro software from Apogee's site installed on your computer. (Version 1.9.14 at the time of this posting.) 1.) Reboot the computer.
2.) Do not touch the duet, or try to adjust volume yet. Seriously, don't do it yet.
If you do, you will need to reboot. 3.) Open Maestro, click on the 'identify unit' button. You will see the Duet's hardware meters go full into the red. Wait a second or so, then click the 'identify unit' button again. The Duet's hardware meters should return to normal. 4.) If need be, in Maestro unmute the Duet's outputs.
5.) Try playing audio out of the Duet now. Try using it as normal in Logic, GarageBand, iTunes, whatever.
Please, anyone who upgraded to Lion please report back here if this works for you, or if you find any further information! I hope this works for others, although I'm sure Apogee is already working hard to get it ready either before or shortly after Lion's release.
Click to expand.What year/model machine are you using? I am not having any issues with the Duet on GM build of Lion. Aguaplano also has it working on his machine using this process, and the only common factor I can see is we are both on older 2008/2009 model MacBook pros. Im wondering if maybe this only works on specific FireWire chipsets. Also, can you try this. Unplug the duet completely from your computer. Go into system preferences and select 'built in audio' for your system sounds input and output.
Make sure the duet is not chosen for either. If you have any kind of startup application that would access the duet to play back audio, disable it for now. If anything tries to use the Duet before you open Maestro and click 'identify' you will have to reboot and start again.
Now power down the computer, plug the Duet back, and boot the computer. Repeat the process above. What year/model machine are you using? I am not having any issues with the Duet on GM build of Lion.

I did disable any startup items I knew would use audio (Skype, iChat, etc.) but I haven't tried setting the built-in audio as the default. I'll give this a try later and post back the results, but killing the duet daemon did the trick for me as far as getting the volume to work, so I'm fine with sticking with that for now.
Luckily I am not working on any music projects at the moment, so it's not an urgent need for me to get this fixed, just an annoyance. I did get a response from Apogee and they said to check back when Lion was released to the public. I'm on a MacBookPro8,3 17' i7 (latest model) running the GM.

Unless anyone knows some disadvantage to killing DuetDaemon. For me at least, the following steps cause the Duet to work completely normally: 1.
Open activity monitor 2. Make sure 'all processes' is selected in the popup menu at the top of the window. Select DuetDaemon and force quit it. For me I've had to force quit it twice to actually kill it.
From there, everything appears to be working perfectly. In the few times I've tested this, it hasn't mattered if I run any audio beforehand or what the system audio settings are set to. Thanks kittyflipping!

Thanks kittyflipping! So I was able to get kittyflippings process to work on my machine as well! I am moving your process to the preferred method as it seems to be working for both new and old machines. In order for me to recreate the problem, I have to hotplug my Duet after the system is booted and running as it's been working without issue for awhile now.
It works fine until I hotplug the Duet, then Duet drops and is not recognized by the system or by Maestro until I kill the duetDaemon. One quirky thing I noticed, even though the Duet volume knob works fine after this, and system preferences recognizes the Duet, for some reason the volume icon in the menu bar remains grayed out, and my volume up/down keys on MBP don't do anything. So for anyone trying this, be sure and try the duet's volume knob if your keys aren't working. The kill duetDaemon seems to work. I have input too - not just output (someone wondered).
Duet does not sync with system speaker volume (up in the top menubar) - and I don't have the floating transparent volume and info window Popup) when I do stuff on the Duet knob - but it works. So - it seems like the first load of the daemon - or the order/sequence it comes together with other stuff that loads at OS start - becomes corrupt. Killing it so it can restart seems to produce a healthy daemon. Anyway - Apogee have to fix this. I want the info popup back.
And peace in mind - no ghost daemons and other evil stuff. This is a good place - I'm glad I signed up. The kill duetDaemon seems to work. I have input too - not just output (someone wondered).

I get the same issues with not syncing with system speaker volume and no pop up, but only when I use the kill daemon technique. For whatever reason, my original process worked really well on my machine and everything on the Duet works normally, I have to hotplug it to intentionally cause issues.
But after that, I still can just reboot and it behaves normally. I'm pretty hopeful Apogee will have an update soon. It may be as someone suggested in the other thread, maybe they can't release it yet due to NDA's and such. Now if Ableton will just push an update to Live soon, I'll be able to upgrade to Lion right away. I've got the itch, even after just playing around on the test machine, I go back to my main MBP and find myself doing some gestures and wondering 'wtf? Why isn't it working now?' Then I remember I'm on Snow Leopard, lol.

Info: If you daisy chain FW800 with Duet last in the chain (Duet is FW400) - or have a FW800 hub - the speed from FW disks goes down 40-45% (to around 400 Mb/s.) after a while. Forcequitting/restarting duetDaemon brings up the speed again - for some time.
This is new for Lion - did not happen in Snow Leopard. In Snow Leopard the speed was stabile around 6-700 Mb/s (thats what to expect from FW800 disks). Yes, I'm in desperate need for a new Lion driver update from Apogee.:-D. This is not good.
Problem: Mac Pro OSX-Snow Leopard it doesn't recognize duet, i'm using sonnet fireware adaptor (400 to 800), my apogee maestro software is up to date 1.9.14-Snow Leopard compatible. I don't know what's wrong maybe is the Apogee Maestro New Driver, because when i go to the system profiler it shows Duet is connected, but it doesn't appear on the audio preferences panel.the green led on Duet keep blinking, never go green solid and when i go to the PREFERENCES on APOGEE MAESTRO i can't check the 'launch maestro automatically when connecting a device' box.before was working perfect with my laptop (Macbook pro, fireware 800, Mac OSX 10.4.11). I've trying to register my product on apogee website to get support, but is not working ok, i can't create an account, something is wrong with the site.so please if anyone can help me with this issue i'll really appreciate that.is urgent!!!
