I have connected a USB audio mixer to my iMac, but the machine keeps losing the connection. Specifically, when I look in Sound Preferences. For a solid week, I could hear and use the mic through the mixer without an issue. The mixer showed up as IOUSBHOST.
However, this morning the mixer is now showing up in Sound Preferences as JieLi BR17 and it keeps bugging out, i.e., it will show up on the list and then disappear taking my audio I/O for a ride in the process. A major problem when I'm delivering virtual workshops and classes.
How do I get my iMac to recognize the mixer using the IOUSBHOST protocol? Frankly, how do I fix this problem.
Thanks for any insight and help on this. Fair warning: not a developer but willing to do the learning to get my set up working.
