Ren Not Showing Up As An Option

Suddenly in MPC preferences the Ren isn't showing up as an option for audio input or output. Only my computer is an option. What happened and how do I fix this? Mabook Pro 2015. Thanks!

No one else has ever had this problem? Do I need to mess with my computer's sound preferences to recognize the Ren or something?

In your Mac, if you go to 'System Preferences > Sound Preferences', does the Ren appear there as an audio device?

I'm facing the same issue can someone please help, my rent is not showing up as option neither on the software or on the macbook sound preferences

Make sure you have installed the latest hardware driver as found on the installer. You might have to uninstall the existing one, reboot, install the latest update and reboot again.

Looks like I have to do this. Can I keep 1.6 if I do it? This is essential for me because my projects go haywire in versions 1.7 and up.

Not sure if the hardware driver is tied into a particular minimum software version, try it and see what happens.

In what way do your projects go haywire post 1.7?

Lots of audio pops during playback, certain pads are now tuned differently, pads aren't cutting each other off when they're in the same mute groups...

What exact Mac OS version are you running? These are not common bugs in the MPC Software itself, most people are running 1.9.4 in a Mac without any such problems. If you are on Mavericks or newer, I'd be tempted to consider trying a fresh Mac OS installation and see if the problems persist.

By that I mean take a USB3 drive, install a fresh copy of OSX on that (Mavericks or newer), boot up from that USB3 drive (hold down the option key during boot up), install the MPC Software (1.9.4) and nothing else on that drive, do not attach any other peripherals, and see if all runs smoothly. If it does work fine, then you know it's a conflict with something on your older OS set up, so reintroduce other hardware and software apps & plugins one at a time and monitor any adverse changes.

I did get the new driver and that helped with the Ren showing up as an interface option. Thanks. As far as the other stuff, I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
