 +=====Updating HD drivers===== 
 + 
 +From at least OSX 10.15.6 installing HD drivers to use the HD Native soundcard requires a work-around for [[https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204899|System Integrity Protection]].  This is from the [[https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=413425|avid forum]]. 
 + 
 + 
 +<WRAP center round box 60%> 
 +Firstly, in the MacOS platform release notes, there is this: 
 +// 
 + 
 +HD Driver may not load on macOS Catalina after installing Pro Tools (PT-257898) 
 +When installing Pro Tools version 2019.12 and HD Driver version 2019.12 or later on macOS Catalina, HDX cards may not be detected 
 +when rebooting the computer. To correct this issue, do one of the following: 
 +• Manually load DigiDal.kext after every boot; Launch the Terminal and enter: 
 +sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/DigiDal.kext 
 +• For a more permanent solution, force an update of the pre-linked kernel via Recovery Mode in the Terminal: 
 +touch -c "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions"// 
 + 
 +What it fails to mention is that you'll need to reboot in recovery mode (Cmd-R), go into "Utilities" and choose Terminal. 
 + 
 +In the terminal enter: 
 + 
 +**csrutil disable** 
 + 
 +This will disable the System Integrity Protection (SIP). You'll then need to reboot in normal mode and do the: 
 +** 
 +sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/DigiDal.kext** 
 + 
 +This will load the HD kernel extension. 
 + 
 +If you start Protools and go to "Setup->Playback Engine", you should now see HD Native or HDX depending on your system. You can use Digitest as well. 
 + 
 +You can also do the "touch" step from above rebooting in recovery mode (Cmd-R) and bringing up the terminal. Rebooting in normal mode may take a little longer as it builds the "pre-built" kernel. 
 + 
 +It is not recommended that you run with System Integrity Protect disabled, so you'll need to do: 
 + 
 +**csrutil enable** 
 + 
 + 
 +Oddly, the latest security update that Apple released (which took an incredibly long time to install) undid the kernel extension load and I had to re-do the (above) steps again.
