RME Interface is still not recognized after successful installation under macOS?
Please make sure that your device is connected and turned on (Check System Report).
Start TotalMix and the Settings dialog from the Applications folder.
The RME applications might have to be authorized manually in System Preferences / 'Security and Privacy'. No longer than 30 minutes after installing the driver, the RME GmbH extension must be allowed.
If the "Allow" button is NOT visible, you may need to reinstall the driver again to make it appear again.
