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.

If more than one USB port, try another.

Good Listening

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?

Tried all the ports and I never installed any drivers on the MacBook Pro. I will try another cable.. The initial one was just a cheapo I had lying around from a printer. The X-1 version I have, isn't supposed to need any drivers. Might just have to contact Peachtree on Monday.
