Hi steenhive – thanks for so much for your work on keeping the Firestudio Project going!
I had this working on Catalina with your workaround a while back – but after a hiatus I have turned on the old Firestudio Project to find all the lights are blinking and I could not sync the device.
I re-downloaded the 'firestudio-catalina-sur-ventura-0.4.4.dmg'. The install process ran smoothly. After a reboot the device has synced, but the microphone lights are still rapidly blinking away.
The good news is that I can now sync the device: the main power light is blue, and I can play and record audio.
The bad news is that all the microphone lights are constantly and rapidly blinking, and any recording is peppered with the internal sound generated by this blinking. This blinking shows up as an audio signal in the Universal Controller and is also very audible on any audio recorded. I have disconnected the unit from the computer and the blinking persists. Oddly, the blinking stopped for a little while, I can get a signal to record, but there is still some internal hum/flutter sound being picked up while recording. After a reboot, the bllinking has returned. So it's a bit of a hot mess.
Would there be any way to troubleshoot this? Happy to provide as much information and would be useful.
I'm running quite an old machine:
Mac OS Catalina
Version 10.15.7
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac13,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Any help much appreciated!
