No Desktop video device detected on M2

Every time I change machines it's the same... Desktop video setup doesn't detect my ultrastudio mini monitor 3g and I have to spend hours finding a solve in forums.

But this time is different. I just bought an M2 macbook pro running on Ventura 13.3 and nothing seems to work. I've really tried all the fixes involving the kernel extensions and so on and nothing that used to work before works now.

It's making me wonder if the software is able to run on M2 macs. Has anyone had good luck with their BM monitor devices working on M2 macs?

Shame on the BM engineers who don't seem to want to fix this issue after years and years.

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the exact same issue on the new Mac M2 Ultra Studio...It would be nice to figure this out.

Under System Settings>General>Login Items do you have Blackmagic Design Desktop Video enabled?

Good Luck

Same boat. Tried all the voodoo tricks, tips... I was tempted to upgrade to Ventura 13.4 I feel like that would just open a new can of worms of incompatibility and not really solve anything with Desktop Video devices.
On the plus side i am becoming quite the Mac power user in the terminal!

Just an observation: it didn't work on a Ventura system that was updated automatically from Monterey (where it worked).
I'm working with Ventura only 'sandboxed' and decided to do a fresh install of Ventura 13.4 and then right away BM's Desktop Video. After giving it the rights as indicated by the installer, it works fine here. No Terminal voodoo needed.

We just updated to Ventura last week and are sticking with 13.3.1. I've been seeing a lot of trouble report about 13.4 lately.

We called Apple and they were zero help in getting us a legit copy of 13.3 (or 13.3.1), despite me telling them there were issues with 13.4. Note that Mac OSX has been free for years now, and only recently have they not making available the older OS's.

I was able to get a local source to give us a thumb drive with the last 5 years of Mac OS installers on it, but it drives me crazy that Apple was unreasonable on this issue. (Note that Blackmagic provides the last 11-12 years' worth of Resolve versions on their Support website.)
