Updating drivers of the mixer, but not via windows driver updater. I downloaded the drivers from yamaha's site. I changed the USB port used on my pc. If none of this works for you, you can try do connect to your pc using analog cables and unplug your USB.
When using the above products, even if the USB Audio Driver is not installed, a class compliant driver (OS standard driver) is automatically applied when the product is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
In some cases, depending on conditions or the specification of the computer, a drop-out noise in a recorded audio file can be produced as a result of an interruption in the signal flow. Usually setting the buffer size to a higher value can eliminate the problem however, if you encounter this issue when using the class compliant driver, and setting the buffer size to a higher value does not resolve the problem, please try the USB Audio Driver.
We also recommend you to use this driver when you want to try buffer size setting lower than a class compliant driver.

Here are pics from my VERY simple Yamaha MG10XU setup with a Mac Mini running OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.6). My Mac was built in mid-2011 with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8 GB memory.
First, I have an mic plugged into Line 1 using an XLR connector. You can also use a 1/4” plug and it wouldn’t change a thing. IMPORTANT: make sure both buttons below the connector are in the UP position. If you’re using a mic that requires “Phantom Power” be sure to push the red button in (it’s the only button under mic inputs 3 & 4 and it lights up). I’m sure you know this, but the white knob at the bottom controls the loudness of the microphone being mixed with the music.
The USB cable goes out the back of the mixer and plug into a USB slot on your Mac. Make sure you’re NOT using any type of port replicator or multi-USB devices. It has to be plugged directly into the Mac.

THEN look under Input 9/10 and you will see the Line/USB switch shown below. BE SURE this gray button is pushed IN.
The white knob at the very bottom of this 9/10 row will control how loudly the music INPUTS into the mixer. You balance the SingSnap volume level with your mic volume level. ALSO the red button always stays pushed IN.
The last connection is the headphones.
Okay, that takes care of the MIXER settings, but you’re not completely done yet.

TURN ON THE POWER TO YOUR MIXER BEFORE THIS NEXT STEP!!
Go to the Apple logo on the top left corner of your Mac screen and click it. Choose SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
Once the dialog box opens, look for the SOUND icon (looks like a speaker) and click it.
Across the top, see the button marked OUTPUT (highlighted in blue)? Make sure you select your mixer for the OUTPUT: it should say MG-XU — USB.
Do the same selection of MG-XU for your INPUT (also highlighted in blue).
That’s everything!! If you turn off your mixer, the sound settings should revert back to their previous settings. On my Mac the OUTPUT is normally defaulted to HEADPHONES — HEADPHONE PORT and the INPUT defaults to LINE IN — AUDIO LINE-IN PORT. This is important because you probably don’t want to leave your mixer on all the time. If you are having trouble hearing the SingSnap music or your microphone, be sure to check these SYSTEM PREFERENCES on your Mac.
Hope this helps!
