sudo sed -i "" "s/37660/37643/g" /System/Library/Extensions/async192.kext/Contents/Info.plist | |
sudo kextload -b 'com.async.driver.async192' | |
# Driver should be loaded now and ready to use, restart unneeded, shows up as "W4S Async USB 44.1Khz-192Khz" in Sound Preferences | |
# If you want to change the device name to "hiFace 1 USB 44.1Khz-192Khz", do the following: | |
sudo kextunload -b 'com.async.driver.async192' | |
sudo sed -i "" "s/W4S Async USB 44.1Khz-192Khz/hiFace 1 USB 44.1Khz-192Khz/g" /System/Library/Extensions/async192.kext/Contents/Info.plist | |
sudo kextload -b 'com.async.driver.async192' | |
# Enjoy! |
If upon reboot, the DAC doesn't appear in Sound Preferences, you may need to run sudo kextload -b 'com.async.driver.async192'
again in terminal after boot.
This works well, thanks!
Any suggestions for how I can make this persistent across reboots?
