Using a Focusrite Scarlett interface on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Some users have reported experiencing audio glitches and drop outs with the Scarlett range of interfaces since updating to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. If you are experiencing these problems with your interface, it is possible to utilise Apple’s USB audio driver by downloading and running the class compliant mode application as a workaround while Focusrite investigates the issue. However, before you run the class compliant mode application, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Scarlett Mix Control if you have one of the following Scarlett interfaces:
Please note: After the class compliant mode application has been unzipped, please right click on the application and choose “Open”. If you do not do this you may get an error message from the Apple Gatekeeper service.
