Long shot but do you have anything you could use to safely create a path between earth and your interface chassis?
I recall having a similar issue with a dell laptop years ago - Its power supply was isolated from mains earth and I had similar issues unless I manually crated a path.
In my case...
Fictionman was last seen here in 2021 so unlikely, although not impossible, that they'll respond.
I wasn't involved in this thread but reading it back I don't think Fictionman ever described their microphone or cable.
The responses make the assumption of balanced microphone, cable, and input...
That's unreal.
Grab to move has been a thing since windows 95, as has right-click>properties.
Definitely feel like we're going backwards on the simple things.
Nailed it ^.

" I do not need 10 channels. I need 8. But why would I not be able to use the Main Outs as a stereo mix of 8 channels, is something I still don’t get."
From a digital to analog conversion perspective, that would be 10.
Technically it could be achieved with 8 D/A and passive summing but then it...
If you have 8 channels of output, from your DAW, going out of the 8 line outs to, say, a mixer,
then yes you're right - You wouldn't be able to monitor the sum from your interface, because your main output is in use as part of the 8.
In that case you'd have to do the monitoring from your...
Sweetbeats nailed it. If you're taking 8 analog outputs to some other device, chances are you'll be able to use that device for your monitoring.
In the ideal world you'd have 8 analog line level outputs, plus discrete 1+2 main output and no mirroring,
or configurable (by software) mirroring...
Unless it's a coincidence and you have two issues, simply disabling SIP should be enough.
You can't just disable it from MacOS, though. It has to be done from recovery.
Alright, the kext isn't loaded - That's the problem.
On both computers open Terminal.app and input csrutil status
If the macbook returns 'disabled' and the iMac returns 'enabled', then you'll need to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) on the iMac.
To do that you'd boot into recovery...
I'm not sure but the first thing I'd do is confirm that the kext has definitely loaded without issue.
You should be able to sudo kextunload pathGoesHere and sudo kextload pathGoesHere to confirm.
You can also check under System Profiler > Software > Extensions. It's got a loaded yes/no column...
Update: I have a Drawmer 1960 schematic here.
No guarantee it's the same, or even similar, but grounding the send on it would result in zero output in 'normal' mode.
Fairly certain using a TRS cable and leaving the ring disconnected will solve your problem.
Hi,
Welcome to HR!
Do both channels work for normal operation?
The side chain socket is send + return so that you can interrupt or hijack the normal control signal which,
in normal operation, is the same as the audio input for that channel.
With no plug connected tip and ring (send and return)...
