Historically, the M-Track Plus is "Class Compliant" on macOS. This means it is plug-and-play; the Mac OS has the necessary drivers built-in.
To successfully install the "full" driver for the M-Track Plus (Original), the following technical protocol is recommended to avoid corruption or installation loops:
Many users assume that because the M-Track Plus is "Class Compliant" on Mac, they don't need a driver. That is partially true. However, the "full" driver package offers several advantages:
Note on Windows 10/11: Windows native USB Audio 2.0 driver will make the M-Track Plus work for playback, but recording will be glitchy. You need the M-Audio specific driver.
Many forums suggest downloading ASIO4ALL, a universal driver. Avoid this if possible. While ASIO4ALL is a lifesaver for cheap hardware, the M-Audio M-Track Plus has its own native ASIO driver. Using the native driver will always yield better performance and lower latency than a generic wrapper like ASIO4ALL.
If you have tried everything above and Windows still gives a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, you have two options.
Option 1: The Generic Windows USB Audio 2.0 Driver (Limited)
Option 2: Upgrade Your Interface The M-Track Plus is end-of-life. M-Audio no longer develops new drivers for it. If you are on macOS Sonoma/Sequoia or Windows 11 ARM, it is time to retire the unit. The modern equivalent is the M-Track Duo (which has up-to-date drivers for 2025).
Do not use third-party “driver download” sites. Only use official sources.
