Free, open-source driver work for the AKAI EIE Pro on Apple Silicon Macs.
Get it free on GitHub No payment. Source code is public. Hardware-driver work in progress.A public macOS driver project for the AKAI EIE Pro USB audio interface. The current path is a native AudioDriverKit and USBDriverKit system extension for modern Apple Silicon Macs.
The code is shared so other EIE Pro owners can test it, learn from it, and help finish the missing pieces. It is not an official Akai release and it is not yet a polished end-user installer.
macOS DriverKit playback at 48kHz is the active path. Capture, sample-rate switching, signing, entitlement approval, and packaging are still being worked through.
Clone the free GitHub repo.
git clone
