UR242 did not reconize in garageband

Hello. I am a newbie.


I bought a Steinberg UR242


I have a problems connecting the UR242 to my Macbook Pro 2018.


When I do connect things start off ok. "Steinberg UR424" appears in the Input list in System Preferneces Preferences > Sound, and also in Audio Midi Setup. BUT, as soon as a open Garage Band, the Steinberg UR242 DISAPPEARS from the Sound input list (and Audio Midi Setup)! At this point I cannot select the UR242 as an input because the system doesn't see it any more. I don't understand why this happens.


In summary, the system "sees" the UR242 after I plug it in. But as soon as I open Garage Band (or the Cubase software), it no longer is visible from Mac as an input, and visually disappears from the Input list in System Preferneces Preferences > Sound.


Does anyone know what's going on?

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.14

Problem solved. I didn't notice macOS mojave, Apple has changed the specifications and enforced the security settings. Installing a third party kernel extension will display the messages "Extension blocked".

So when i come with fresh install and allow Yamaha Coporation software and it's worked.

Hello TerryNguyen_ruan,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with connecting your UR242 and GarageBand.


I was able to find the manufacturer link here: Steinberg UR424


It states the UR242 is compatible with "Mac OS X 10.7/10.8/10.9/10.10/10.11/10.12/10.13."


I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer to verify the device is compatible, and check if there is an update to help you. This link will take you to their support: Steinberg Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
