@Iamhaxal 4 года назад

I have a ddj-sx and running serato in the newest macOS catalina update, and i've tried this step and so many other steps and I don't know what to do. I get the same error message! "Error. Failed to connect audio!!" As for the ddj-sx there's no drivers needed to run it on the mac but even if there was when i check my MIDI Drivers folder in the audio folder it's empty. So im assuming that's where the problem comes from. It's been about a month now and still haven't found a solution.

@EliasBatche 4 года назад

@crossfader Please HELP if you can. I just received the Pioneer DDJ-1000SRT and was having this problem so I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it, but it didn't give me the prompt the second time. I went into Security & Privacy and manually granted permission. Serato DJ Pro finally recognized my controller but nothing much is functioning other than deck 1. None of the channel level indicators are lighting up though they light up when I turn on the controller, so I know they "work" and the crossfader won't do anything. I'm also not getting audio from the headphones. I've done all the "common sense" stuff like setting up the crossfader assign switches and everything up top is set to USB A. I feel like this is still possibly related to the issue mentioned in this video but I've uninstalled/reinstalled the driver multiple times and it won't give me the pop-up anymore. Please help. I'm desperate here and don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight.

@gibrawn6419 4 года назад

Thanks for this video! This happened to me when I first tried to connect to the DJM-900. However, even after I pressed "Allow", it still gave me the error on Serato. To fix this, I uninstalled the driver, and before installing again, I selected "click the lock to make changes". This way the additional options aren't greyed out, and you can click "Allow" or "Always Allow" from there. I thought this was a one time thing, but the same happened again when I connected to an SZ. It didn't connect after pressing "Allow", so I repeated the steps above. Don't know why this is.

@darinhouston1009 3 года назад

That's not my problem. The driver is installed properly and is recognized in other user's folders, but for my user login, it isn't -- the software recognizes when it's connected and not, but the controller is just never activated when plugged in. If I login as another user and run the software, it works fine. I've tried re-installing the Rekordbox several times even deleing the Library plists etc. each time but to no avail. It's clearly some user setting or corrupted system file or something, but I can't find anything to change.

@kefrdnskh 3 года назад

* If you want to use the driver software on a Mac with an M1 chip, you need to change security settings on your Mac by following the steps below. Follow the instructions below to change [the level of security used on your startup disk]. 1) Close your Mac. Choose [Apple menu] > [Shut Down]. 2) Press and hold the power button until you see [Loading startup options]. 3) Click [Options], then click [Continue]. If requested, enter the password for an administrator account. Your Mac opens in Recovery mode. 4) Choose [Utilities] > [Startup Security Utility] on the menu bar. 5) Select the startup disk you want to use to set the security policy. If the disk is encrypted with FileVault, click [Unlock], enter the password, then click [Unlock]. 6) Click [Security Policy]. 7) Set the security policy. Click [Reduced Security]. Select the [Allow user management of Kernel extensions from identified developers] checkbox. 8) Click [OK] If requested, enter your administrator username and password. 9) Restart your Mac for the changes to take effect. Choose [Apple menu] > [Restart].
