I am a new user and the software has come with ezcap cassette music capture When trying to set up I notice there is no USB preference input option as suggested in the setup guide.

Smells like a graphics related bug. Possibly a font server error. Do you have MS Office* or Chrome** installed? * MS Office comes with MS fonts. A corruption of one of these could wreak havoc. ** Google Chrome has an updater running in the background. It's a buggy bastard. Your Mac has dual graphics...
