Here's a brief tutorial on how to fix the "failed to connect audio" issue for mac after upgrading to High Sierra. Once you follow the steps your Serato will be good to go from that point on and you wont have to redo these steps again.
You’re my hero!! I’m providing sound at a wedding ceremony on the beach w a generator and I just bought brand new 2018 MacBook Pro, and using sound just from my laptop and Serato program wasn’t working, and thank God for your video!!
How did you get past it not showing up in the "sound" section?

Is this with macos Mojave operating system ?
Dude you saved my life last night. I was setting up at a gig and had this issue 30 minutes before I started. I failed to trouble shoot it myself and this was the first and correct solution to the problem. Thanks for the fast fix. #DoingGodsWork
Lmao doing God’s work....

I didn't have the Resource folder inside the "Contents" folder but followed the steps after that just to see if it would work and It's completely solved. My issue was with the Security Preferences part of the video. Followed those directions and it worked on the first try! Appreciate it brother!!!
Using a 2015 MacBook Pro, MacOS Catalina (version 10.15), SX3 controller, Serato Pro
Casey Atnip mine was the same way. I'm so glad I found the video to fix it.
I Just had this issue with my DDJ-SR2 connecting to my MacBook Air! After watching your video the issue has been resolved! I thank you so much!

I tried this but also got my security and privacy set to microphone on and it works for me :) I just started using Mojave & since the update, it changed my setting you most allow microphone for DDj Sz to work :)
Thanks for posting! Saved me a lot of grief. Used this trick on an S9 mixer.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Dan.
mennnnn u are a life saver u just save me from loosing my show thanks bro remain bless
can i get ur facebook page name ?
Sure. Just search my name.
THANK YOU! The world needs more people like you.
I just updated to Catalina and had this issue with my S9. After a couple hours of frustration, found your video and this worked perfectly! Thanks!
Yo I just got Catalina too and I’m using the sr2 I need help trying to get the audio working
likeburrito 5387 same problem. I don’t have the packed folder.
On my Mac that package doesn’t pop up for me. But just follow the steps to go to System Preferences while Dj is off but plugged to Mac. Security and privacy. Click the lock and put password. Then the Dj should pop up then put allow. And then go to sound on preferences then output. Turn on Dj. Should be there
Solution worked for my friend using the DDJ-SX running Mojave. Thank you!

The odd thing is that I bought a new 2018 MacBook Pro and I had to do this with my Roland DJ 808 at least once a month for sound to come out when my Roland is not connected. I wonder why
This worked perfectly even for Mojave. Thank you!!!!!

I just want you to know that this old video work for my new controller’s problem too. SBJ SX3. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had the same issue. Followed your video and it work. Only thing is the yellow triangle with exclamation point still there blinking. Any ideas?
There's a lot that could go into that issue. Is Serato up to date? Firmware up to date on the SZ? Is your Mac running the latest version of High Sierra?
Yes to all of those.
Gotcha. Well in that case, without being able to check the code and all that for you, I'd suggest reaching out to Serato support so they can assist you with that additional issue.
Thanks a lot bro. You are a life saver 💯
Good look man. Fixed my problem!

So much Thanks, last night I was try playing and I can't, because the high Sierra don't recognoize my DDJ SZ...so I had to play whit a windows pc...and it was frustrating....so there is an option where we can select and authorize that pioneer soft run in the Mac book and thats all....grettings from Mexico
Not for nothing but this was the same remedy for a new i9 w/ Touch Bar MacBook Pro and the SR2. Thanks again! 🕶💎
I was following your instructions and when I clicked the DDJ in the sound preferences your voice came blasting out full tilt. All my channels were potted down so somehow it went straight to the speaker. I did not have the security issue downloading the drived but I did it again anyway. Unfortunately my problem is that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't When I leave the system on and idle there is no sound when I return. But it has also gone out on my in the middle of djing and I wish i could figure this thing out.
Bro this 100% works. BEST VIDEO ON UA-cam.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I looked everywhere and this solved my problem! Thank You Thank You Thank You!
Thank you! They pioneer window does not pop up with the allow button. What can I do?
hi. what if the package folder is not available? its not there...
Having same problem. There is no packages folder for me. How do I fix this?
Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem too
@@jaimem0012 Hi. Yes I did, You have to use macOS High sierra (10.13.6)
In other words any update higher then 10.13.6 will have bugs & will not let Serato function proper. Let me know if this helps. good luck.
DJLOW305 does that mean I can’t use serato with my mixer?
Cheers for this mate, I kept having this problem, and this video solved it. Legend
I tried clicking on the resource folder but it's a zip and it won't let me open it
You're a life saver! Thanks!

nic. films HaHa no problem. PayPal me. 😉
I followed step by step, the only issue is that the allow button for pioneer isn’t popping up in the system preferences for me, any pointers anyone?
I have not been able to find the folder named Packages do you have any pointers for me?
Me too!
@@d.a.8903 Same
You can download the DDJ SZ driver here www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/ddj-sz/#drivers
@@TheFirstDJAlex69 I downloaded the driver, but the “allow” from pioneer isn’t popping up in system preferences any pointers?
@@dwaynenotjohnson1405 did fix it. I have the same problem. I can’t packages
Everything is perfect, until I open System Preferences and open "Sound", I don't have DDJ SZ as a option...
Did you download the SZ2 software? The SZ came with a cd but for the SZ2 you have to download from online.
I am having the same problem. It doesnt come up and when I try to download from pioneer it says my software is too new. @@emmanuellemi3432
@@candicebuchanantv any chance you figured it out? Having that current problem I know I’m super late to the party lol

Will this work for similar Dvs issues where you're getting this exact error when connecting directly to the mixer?
Thanks so much bro, ur a life saver
With my pioneer sb2 it's working fine but not for my numark nv2. Any advice?
Will this also work on any other controllers like ddj sb? And another question is if I switch to another controller, will it drop the compatibility with the previous controllers that i used? Than you!!!!
