11.3.4 Recommended USB-ports (MacBook Only)
As a general rule of thumb, do not use the right hand USB port on a MacBook Pro:
This port shares a USB root hub with the trackpad. With the AUDIO 8 DJ connected
to the right port, you can encounter audio problems like clicks or dropouts whenever
the trackpad is reactivated from standby mode.
MacBook Pro recommended USB port(s)
For the following laptops the use of USB audio devices on the right-hand USB port
is not recommended:
►
MacBook Pro 15" 1.67GHz Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 15" 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 15" 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 15" 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 15" 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 17" 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo
►
MacBook Pro 17" 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
The 15" MacBook Pro models have 1 USB port on the left side, and one USB port
on the right side.
The 17" MacBook Pro models have 2 USB ports on the left side, and one USB
port on the right side.
Due to the current USB configuration of the MacBook Pro under OS X, use of USB
audio devices is supported on the left-hand USB ports only (the port or ports next
to the power adapter cable). Use of audio devices on the right-hand USB port is
not recommended because it may cause audio interrupts and/ or dropped
samples.
However, the use of an iLok dongle on the right-hand port has been qualified and
is fully supported.
