Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand

I have a Mac Mini, circa 2010, running the latest OS. When I plug the USB cable in between it and the Peachtree Grand Pre X-1, the PT doesn't appear as a device when looking at the audio output options on the Mac. I tried the same cable plugged into my Macbook Pro and the PT shows up there just fine.

Any ideas why the Mini wouldn't recognize it? I tried multiple reboots and power recycles with no luck.

You might want to try the USB-X. I think it allows you to change the way the Earth is connected on the USB power lines. You might want to use the same distributor as the preamp

Try a different USB port and see if that helps. Also try using a different USB cable - some custom cables disable the power connection which may prevent the devices from handshaking correctly.

If that doesn't work...

The X-1 shouldn't need a USB driver but the older variants apparently did.

I don't suppose the MacBook Pro had drivers installed previously, did it?
