skittb123 you’re not understanding. The software BREAKS the ability to get any sound out of the Virus. Even after you uninstall it. Previously you couldn’t even get sound coming through the USB. I’m showing you that the native Catalina drivers recognize the virus as a sound card and there is absolutely a point to using it as one. It was my exclusive sound card previously and others also.

I’m warning people not to install the software until Access updates it or they’re gonna have to reinstall the whole OS to fix what the program breaks just like I did.

rdobda usb midi won’t work with or without the program but the program will break other things. Don’t install it.

With catalina 10.15.5, and NO install of the virus tools, i see the virus as a sound card, and it can playback sounds ok from Youtube for example.

However, i'm unable to record any audio from the virus into my DAW using this method.

I am assuming i need to install the virus control center for MIDI to work, because as of now, my Virus TI is NOT being recognized as a midi device at all. I have not validated if installing the virus software gets midi working because I didn't want to install since the Virus web site says don't install on catalina.

If i could get this to work in these ways

1. Recognize the audio coming directly out of the USB audio generated by the device

+

2. MIDI capabilities

that would be a fine substitution for 'total integration' but i can't seem to have that working. Will wait a bit longer i guess to see what happens.

yeah do NOT install anything from Access or it will completely break even being able to use it as a sound card. I had to reinstall Catalina 10.15.5 to fix it even after uninstalling Access stuff

Interesting. Does USB Audio also work in the Plugin?

Now it won't show up at all. Audio out was working and it showed 6 Inputs 2 Outputs in Audio Midi Setup, it could be used as a sound card with a FRESH Catalina install. I installed the Virus Software and it broke it, uninstalled it, now it won't show up at all in audio. Im gonna have to fresh install now to keep it active in audio so that I can copy over whatever it is the virus program broke..

UPDATE: I ran the Catalina installer again, chose my existing mac install and it just overwrote it and kept my data / programs So, I can use the Virus TI as a sound card again using 10.15.5 ! If you want to at least use it as a sound card, uninstall the Virus TI software, and then run the Catalina installer so you have a "fresh install" but it will keep your programs and such.

ALSO USB Audio is working in Catalina 10.15.5 did they add something back?

UPDATE:

As most of ya'll probably know Apple just announced MacOS Big Sur.

As optimistic as I am I decided to give the Beta a try to see what changed regarding the Virus TI. Unfortunately I am sad to inform you guys that on MacOS Big Sur Beta, The Virus TI software now completely ceased working. The installer can only run by turning off System Integrity and while it does install the VST, VST3 and AU plugins, only AU is actually recognized by plugin validation. I’ve tried this in Studio One and Logic Pro and both just crash while trying to open the plugin. The VST and VST3 version don’t even make it to the validation process.

Another update: Weirdly enough MacOS Big Sur does still recognize the Virus as an USB audio interface and they've actually fixed audio on the Virus!

You can now select the Virus as an Audio out in MacOS's Sound settings and it works again. (doing that in Catalina resolved in no sound)

So it seems like Access wouldn't even have to work on that part. All they need to do is fix the VST, VST3 and AU plugin.

This is GREAT news! I hope Access hasn't given up and start working on the Big Sur compatibility. Forget Catalina lol

I saw some other product named Access but it wasn’t our boys. Did Access not go?

Where’s everyone at?!

Yet another BSOD on another fresh install... Mark? Please!

Hello, I am getting BSODs and more frequent hangs on my Virus TI Snow since the new Windows update. A lot of audio related drivers including my Focusrite needed an update to be compatible with 1903. Could we get updated / optimized drivers for the Virus TI Snow? I ruled out any possible USB issues by doing a FRESH install.. TWICE. A NEW PCI USB card that only the Virus TI is connected to, a new USB cable, and I set up the Virus TI correctly each and every time. (Not plugging it into the computer until the installers prompts you to do so)

Attached is a photo of one of the BSODs related to one of the VIrus's driver. Downgrading the operating system is not a viable option as we will be forced (or have been already) forced to upgrade. I downgraded once already to 1809 and was upgraded again.

Thank you,
