I want to share the answer of the AKAI Support with you. According to their reply, both interfaces (Behringer UMC404HD and Focusrite Scareltt 6i6 2nd Gen are not fully "Class Compliant", so there are drivers existing for Windows. Thats what they said. That's ok for me at the moment, as I now mix everything externally and everything is running smooth now. Anyhow, it would be nice of course, if the compatibility could be improved with future updates (I didn't check with 2.11. - I will do these days and give you an update).
What a lame excuse from Akai. Is the Tascam Model 12 not considered class compliant because it has Windows drivers, even though it's what Akai uses to advertise the feature? Behringer and Focusrite interfaces are class-compliant on Mac.
On a related note, I spent a few hours with a Behringer UMC1820 yesterday and all ins/outs, including coax SPDIF in, are actually working pretty well with my Live 2. I have not tried to sample anything, but live playback utilizing every single input (five audio tracks in the project, mother ducker on four of them) and output (to interface connected to computer/DAW) is working with minimal latency. Not sure why the Behringer would work and my Tascam US20x20 doesn't, as they're both class compliant.
