How to Download and Install Steinberg Ci1 Driver for Mac

Steinberg Ci1 is a USB audio interface that allows you to record and playback high-quality audio on your Mac computer. To use it, you need to install the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver, which is the software that enables communication between the Ci1 and your Mac.

In this article, we will show you how to download and install the latest Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac, as well as how to check if it is working properly.

Step 1: Download the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac

The first step is to download the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac from the official Steinberg website. You can find the latest version as well as older versions on this page[^2^]. Make sure you choose the version that matches your Mac OS X/macOS version and your Ci1 model.

For example, if you have a Mac with macOS 11 or later and a Ci1 interface, you should download the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver 3.1.4, which is specifically for macOS 11 or later. If you have a Mac with macOS 10.13.6 to 10.15 and a Ci1 interface, you should download the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver 2.1.4, which is the last driver to support the Ci-series.

Once you have downloaded the ZIP file, extract it to a folder on your Mac.

Step 2: Install the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac

The next step is to install the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac on your computer. To do this, follow these steps:

Double-click on the extracted ZIP file to open it.

Double-click on the "Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver.pkg" file to start the installation.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You may need to enter your administrator password and restart your computer.

After restarting your computer, connect your Ci1 interface to your Mac using a USB cable.

The driver should recognize your Ci1 interface and show a message that says "Yamaha Steinberg USB Device Connected".

If you encounter any problems during the installation, please read the "Installation Guide" PDF file inside the ZIP file or visit this page[^2^] for more information.

Step 3: Check if the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac is working properly

The final step is to check if the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac is working properly with your Ci1 interface and your Mac. To do this, follow these steps:

Open the "Audio MIDI Setup" application on your Mac. You can find it in Applications > Utilities or by using Spotlight.

In the "Audio Devices" window, you should see your Ci1 interface listed under "Yamaha Steinberg USB". If not, make sure your Ci1 interface is connected and turned on.

Select your Ci1 interface and click on "Configure Speakers". You should see two output channels (L and R) and two input channels (L and R).

Click on "Test" to play a test sound through each channel. You should hear it from your speakers or headphones connected to your Ci1 interface.

If you want to use your Ci1 interface as your default audio device for playback and recording, click on "Use this device for sound output" and "Use this device for sound input".

If everything works fine, congratulations! You have successfully downloaded and installed the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Mac for your Ci1 interface. You can now use it with any audio software that supports Core Audio, such as Cubase, GarageBand, Logic Pro X, etc.
