Zoom app disconnecting Livetrak L-8 on Mac Silicon

The short answer will be that this is not a 'certified' device (despite the fact that it's a 'Zoom' device, it's made by another company called Zoom, that has nothing to do with the conferencing platform).

Longer answers - check your drivers for the L-8 and ensure you're running latest / if you're not trying to use the interface in Zoom, ensure that Zoom does not have the interface selected as an input or output / close any other applications that may be trying to access the device / change system audio defaults (in System Preferences for MacOS) to not use this device as a default audio device.

I have the same weird problem! Zoom Livetrak L8, Mac Studio M2 Max. Sequoia 15.2.  When I start Zoom (the software), the Livetrak L8 does not show as an option when selecting audio input/output.

I had exactly the same problem with my L-8 on two separate Macs, but after deleting all vestiges of Zoom (I used a shell script I found on GitHub) and reinstalling, my L-8 works fine! I suspect it's a security/privacy bug in macOS: Zoom was granted access to the microphone, but somehow not _that_ microphone.

I have the same issue. I had to uninstall the Zoom meeting applications in order to use my Zoom L-8 mixer as an interface.

I'm having a nearly identical issue (although in my case, simply closing the Zoom meeting app does not restore my Zoom L-8 mixer, I need to restart my Mac). I very hopefully tried running the shell script listed above in hopes that it would solve the problem, but unfortunately it did not, at least for me.

Last time I searched for a solution to this issue I didn't come across this post or any others, so I'm at least glad to see that it's not just me, I guess?
