Please help my ren just started beeping out of nowhere after the 1.7 update. All I get are low frequency beeps out my monitors. I tried to downgrade to 1.6 and it starts to work again but there is some type of sync issue between the ren and mbp. Like the sample rates don't match. I called akai and they have no solution. Please help

2011 MacBook Pro. Tried lion and maverick. Same issue weather it's the driver 2.2.0 or 3.2.0. I went to apple twice and they ran diagnostic test and found nothing wrong wit the comp. Erased the whole system and installed osx 10.9.5 with the same issue with 3.2.0 driver then went back to apple then they put it back on lion and same result. I've had the Ren for a year and half wit no issues until this update.

My suspicion would be that it is due to the usb port. Mpc ren usb is 2.0 and the mac will usb3.0

I had the mpc-ren all the problems of the sound card and the crackle and beep with. Also, the first apple mavericks was a bug in the cracklinnoise, the apple has probably been repaired.

For me, today Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 + mpc studio, mac os mountain lion & the MPC Studio 1.6 (works well :)

Thanks for the responses. First off I bought everything new macbook pro and Mpc Ren. i took the computer to apple and they kept it for two days and found nothing wrong with it what so every softare or hardware wise. I use usb 2.0 the same chords that came with the Ren(tried others as well). I have tried my Ren on another macbook pro and it works as an interface flawless. I also tried a friends Duet 2 on my computer and it works flawless no problems. It has to be something!!! Im Stumped and it seems so is Akai.
