last night i spent HOURS troubleshooting this zoom L-20 mixer/audio interface’s logic input setup (on M1 mac). then first thing this morning, i tried turning the USB-C adaptor upside down and plugging it back in… and presto! now it all works. (happy/angry)
@levisan yeah, i wish someone more knowledgeable would chime in about how this could be. is it because i have inferior USB-C adaptors or is this an actual flaw in the USB-C spec design or maybe its macOS implementation?
@sabbatical I saw a thing that was explaining all the various variants of C and it's so confusing behind the scenes… so I think it's the adaptor's fault
@levisan huh. if so, wonder what adapters would fare better! the ones i got are well-reviewed, but they didnt cost a lot and arent from an established brand: https://amzn.to/3XdGfZI
@levisan maybe i should spring for ones that are "USB-IF certified", like this one: https://amzn.to/3MeKfmu
not many mention this, seems like. even the adapters from anker don't seem to be certified (though some of their other stuff is)
@sabbatical I like how part of the goal of USB C was to make life simpler and here we are… not simpler!
@sabbatical Those giant double plug things were wild!
@sabbatical So much for reversable!
