NOVEMBER 2012: An updated driver to fix audio issues with all MH interfaces on Mac OS 10.8 is now available for download at http://metric-halo.com/MIO/MIODriver_5.4d221_Universal.pkg.zip or from our Downloads page. This is a critical update for any user running Metric Halo interfaces on Mountain Lion 10.8.0 or newer. This driver is fully compatible with older systems as well, but updating pre-10.8 machines is not necessary.

***UPDATE***

We have found benefits in system stability using this driver with older versions of the OS, specifically for users who:

• Toggle audio transport between play and stop frequently
• Use Cubase and Nuendo

We now recommend that ALL Metric Halo interface users upgrade their driver with the version linked to above.
