Snow Leopard OSX Support Status

VERSION 9

Created on: Aug 28, 2009 8:31 AM by Line6Perry - Last Modified:  Oct 9, 2009 7:59 AM by Line6Miller

Attention Line 6 USB audio interface/device users: Mac OSX 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) is currently not supported by Line 6. We expect to be implementing support for Snow Leopard soon. This does NOT mean that you can't use Snow Leopard with Line 6 Software. Our driver developers have worked hard with Apple engineers to deliver you a new driver that will work with your Line 6 device. You can download driver 4.2.4 at http://line6.com/software/. This driver is considered a beta driver.

 

While you are free to try installing our software on this new operating system, we will not be guaranteeing issue-free operation on 10.6.x systems. Using Leopard OSX 10.5.x would be the recommended platform by Line 6 for Mac Users' productivity at this point in time. Some key points to be aware of:

 

1. If you are a current GuitarPort Online (GPO) subscriber and consider this to be your main priority in terms of software usage, we very strongly recommend that you NOT upgrade to Snow Leopard OSX. Functionality of GearBox software is NOT currently supported on Snow Leopard OSX.

 

2. If you do decide to upgrade your operating system to Snow Leopard OSX, at the very least be sure to install the latest Mac OSX Line 6 USB Device Driver (Version 4.2.4) AFTER the upgrade to 10.6.x has been made. You can download those drivers here: http://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=2795

 

3. If you like to live on the bleeding edge, the latest version of Line 6 software and drivers will allow installation on Snow Leopard OSX. For these brave people, we've set up a User Group for Snow Leopard Discussion.

 

Here are a list of known issues Line 6 is aware of:

 

  • Driver version 4.1.0 or older WILL cause a Kernel Panic when your Line 6 USB Device is connected. Only use Driver 4.2.3 or newer with Snow Leopard OSX.
  • The latest GearBox Installer (3.70) includes a driver older than 4.1.0. Please install the latest Mac OSX Line 6 USB Driver after installing GearBox in order to avoid a Kernel Panic.
  • An error message can appear at the last Line 6 Driver Installation step.
  • In Line 6 Monkey, images appear corrupted when they are greyed out or if Monkey is running in the background.
