Next, did a manual install to /Library/Extensions.

Allow user management of kernel extensions.

I first went into Recovery mode & set the Startup Security Utility > Security Policy.

I've dabbled for years in the world, so I am somewhat used to doing this sort of thing.

So I used 'Suspicious Package' to extract the AppleFWAudio.kext file from the installer. I wasn't able to make the installer work, unfortunately. Have been playing around with getting this to work this afternoon. There has to be 100's of thousands of people who would be happy to spare some cash to stop their multi-thousand dollar investment in gear to be so thoughtlessly resigned to the scrap heap.Īny comments or layman-friendly explanations as to why this couldn’t happen would be gratefully received! Would it possible? Would it involve a lot of work? I don't think I'd be the only person willing to pay for a third party application or utility that restored this functionality. Probably not the first time you gurus have had someone make the logical leap leading to a request for something like this, but I was wondering if it might be somehow possible of shoe-horning the code used in previous versions of Mac OS that allowed the Mac to speak with the audio features of such devices to run inside the Ventura version of the OS. I have one of said audio devices, and I'd like to keep using it while keeping my 2019 Intel Mac Book Pro up to date with the latest security updates and OS features.

Apple dropping on-going development for FireWire devices that were supported with the Core Audio driver standard is a catastrophe for a lot of struggling musicians who need to both keep up to date on security updates that come with new OS releases, and continue to utilise their hard earned investments in very expensive and still pristine audio devices that have been reduced to e-waste by Apple's seemingly tone-deaf ignorance in the cries for on-going support.
