Hi,
on two of my tested Macs, both with 10.7.5, the Audiobox Software starts, but has no mixer window to do something with.
Only the menu left appears, but no mixer.
On a third Mac with 10.8.2 the interface and software works well
Hmmm only to make sure to read the release notes on the driver to see which is compatible, sounds like maybe you need the driver for 10.7.5??? not sure, I'm not a mac guy
NOTE: If your having an issue, open a tech support ticket and bring the number here if you want help!

yeah, that´s what I´ve done hundreded times. No way.
No chance to see a mixerwindow.
I reinstalled older drivers, firmware down- and upgrade to 1.0.4 and back 1.0.5, always the same.
I rewrite some values in the preferences, f.e. windows size, but always the same, and after quitting the app, the old values appears in the preferences.

I can confirm this behavior as well. My specs are below. I did a complete uninstall/reinstall several times and had the same problem. No mixer window.
If I reinstall 1.2 it works fine, except it gives me a weird craving for Rice Krispies.

Strange, indeed. I'll have to try it on my other MacBook just to see if it works. It's just slightly newer; 2.2Ghz Black MacBook. Trying to dedicate the other my Presonus gear, though.
I have 1.2.2 and a Mac Mini OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and no mixer window plus no headphone outputs. The main outputs work so I get signal showing on the meters and sound to the speakers but no headphone. ?????
suggestions?

Having the same issue. I started a thread (No Love From v1.2.2 beta) outlining what I've tried to fix it.
I've had no luck thus far. I dread having to do a clean install .... Takes forever
I have confidence that Presonus will come through for us.

Quick question: how long have you had your 1818vsl? ....
I think I know where you're going with this..... The thought has crossed my mind, Its been 4 months since I've had it.
I'm still using my FireStudio 2626. The reason I purchased the 1818 was to retire the FireStudio, so I'm willing to wait for Presonus to get it right.
I don't have to incur any "downtime" as other's here but I won't hesitate to encourage anyone who is unable to work as a result of this issue to seek another solution.
I have met some of the guys and gals from Presonus at various trade shows and they are a great bunch of folks.
When the FireStudio line was having issues ... They worked on it and eventually got us a working driver.
That's why I willing to give them some time to work it out.
Software written at the kernel level has to be "tricky" to deal with, so I'm willing to cut them a little slack.
Bottom line is .... if this issue stifles anyone's creativeness, I would suggest you consider "Plan B"
