This isn’t the “enable microphone” thing by any chance?

I feel your pain, man.gtrnstuff wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 7:18 am I'm having the same issue with 828x, OS 12.6.3, DP 11, latest MOTU audio driver
Support ticket started.
Like the OP, I *can* record into Logic Pro, but I really would prefer to use DP 11 that I just upgraded.
I have been using DP since 2003 and pretty well have my workflow streamlined.
I'm stumped. I've been running an 828x with DP 11 across two different computers and several iterations of the MOTU drivers, and never had a problem, though I did run into the Mic Security preference setting when moving to Monterey. The only thing I can think of that might be a variable is that I connect the 828x with a Thunderbolt cable and not USB. Perhaps a different cable?silent k wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 12:47 pm I realized I still had DP9 installed on my iMac, so just ran a quick test -- no problem getting audio into DP through my 828x. Seems to be a problem just with DP11. For what it's worth, I'm submitting a support ticket to MOTU as well. I'll reply here if anyone offers me a solution that works!
I tried connecting my MOTU interface first to a USB port and then to a TB port on my Mini M2 Pro.cuttime wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 2:40 pmI'm stumped.

I found that setting this morning -- it seems to have resolved my issue! I can now get DP11 to recognize audio coming in from the 828x. I was confused at first because it seemed like when I reinstalled the MOTU audio installer, I should have gotten a message within the Security & Privacy settings to allow the MOTU software to update the system, per the tech note referenced in an earlier post from Mike. At least in OS 12.6.3, that message does not appear. But, some more poking around and I found the Microphone settings under the Privacy tab, and sure enough DP11 was not checked. Checking that box has, at least for now, enabled DP11 to get audio from my 828x. This isn't going to help the OP, unfortunately, but maybe some others with similar problems.James Steele wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:58 pm Did you go into the Security settings or whatever it is and make sure DP 11 is granted access to the microphone?
It often doesn’t appear until a reboot — even then, sometimes it doesn’t.silent k wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 8:55 amI found that setting this morning -- it seems to have resolved my issue!

That’s strange - I first learned about the “allow DP to use the microphone” thing when searching Google for solutions. When I checked my settings, permission for DP to use mic was already granted, but the problem still persisted for me.silent k wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 8:55 amI found that setting this morning -- it seems to have resolved my issue!
