Hi all, wondering when we can expect updates to roll out and which interfaces will be getting updated. Thanks!

Hi. I was also interested in the question when will update? I can not revert to Yosemite, and the interface is needed for the job.
 
Really need the driver update for El Kapitan. I'm a student and the interface is needed for the assignment and job.

Thanks.

Talked to someone there yesterday. He said: "No idea". Which means "Go buy something else".

Same here. Will you update the drivers or should I buy something else? Can't go back to Yosemite...
 
To all Capitans using Tascam US- Interfaces, some info straight from the horses mouth:

Apparently, there will soon be driver update releases for the..:
US-2000, US-1200, US-200, US-600, US-322, US-366

Some betas are floating around for the US-1800, US-122MKII, US-144MKII

No update is planned for the US-1641, unfortunately.

As for release dates, nothing other than 'it shouldn't take too long'..

As for general rules of thumbs.. if you're not 100% sure that drivers for your periphery are available, don't just experiment with an OS upgrade. Especially not if a client is waiting outside, or if you're about to finish that huge ochestra piece you've been working on for months..

Ever heard some clever engineer say 'never change a running system'?
Certainly makes more sense than that apple/microsoft PR guy, who comes out every three months proclaiming 'Upgrade Now! It's Free!'

@Vazza Good words of advice
 
Hello,
official Capitan betas now available for US-200, US-600 and .. surprise surprise.. the US-1641!
(..despite previous disinfo..sorry)
Check the tascam.com homepage for downloads.
 
i'm an imac/garageband user
i upgraded to el capitan, the new OS for imac
i immediately downloaded the us-1800 driver for el capitan
however, it doesn't work
audio and video will play, but it is plagued with glitches
i downloaded the driver three more times, still the same
i disconnected the us-1800 and tried using the headphone output on the mac - no problem
so the problem is with the us-1800, which has now been discontinued
(meaning, of course, that it is now worthless?)
i contacted tascam over a week ago
they acknowledged my message but so far have not contacted me
 
Here's the solution for Tascam US-144 MKII on El Capitan:
1- uninstall soundflower with this app:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kyyx49butbj91l/iShowU_1.94.3.dmg?dl=0
or use a terminal:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

2- install it again with this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wnhce7tlcz4grw/Soundflower-2.0b2.dmg?dl=0

reboot and that's it.



Hi Alkatrah,

I don't understand the method you recommend.
I use a Macbook Pro and Logic Pro X and TASCAM US144mk2

Can you please again explain me and other desperate forum-members the way you
brought the US144mk2 back to life in El Capitan ?

for example : I don't know what 'Soundflower' is

Thanks in advance !

Cheers, Boudewijn, The Netherlands

Hi Guys! Thats worked for me! Now i have OSX El Capitan running with my US 144 MKII.
Mainstage, garageband, logic, system audio (itunes, chrome, etc) everything OK!

Note: the first step (run ishowu) i dont understand and just open and close the app, on the second step i installed the soundflower and reboot, no troubles until now! (Sorry my bad english!)
 
Hello Rob Silva,

I tried to take the same steps as you did, but it doesn't work for me.
Logic sees Soundflower and I can choose it as output ans input-device, but Logic doesn't work with it.
What am I doing wrong?

Cheers, Boudewijn
 
Hi Boudewijn, unfortunatelly after some reboots my board was died! I dont try again because i'm thinking downgrade to yosemite and be happy again with my setup.

Good luck for who want to wait but im so tired now!
 
Hi Rob, That's exactly what I am gonna do.
It's unbelievable Tascam upgrades all the drivers except the one we need.
Still no answer why after my email I sent them weeks and weeks ago.
US144 works fine in my setting so I don't feel the urge to buy a newer version
So downgrading OS is the 'solution' indeed.

Cheers ! Boudewijn
 
Hello Guys.

I've installed El Capitan and dowloaded the US-1800 driver released by Tascam, after te installation the interface is recognized showing all the inputs and outputs, but has no sound, the test of speakers doesn't work. I have been using it on Mavericks working fine and now I don't see how to make it work on El Capitan.

Anyone have fixed the same problem ?
