Are you referring to 4 cables or 4 ports ?

If referring to ports then try using another short cable that you know is OK , also have the computer connected to mains/charger to make sure that computer has enough power. Else try same using another computer.

You don't need to be looking at the audio interface apps, as the Maschine Mikro doesn't have an audio interface built in like the Maschine MK3.

What happens when you start Maschine with the Mikro connected?

@ugotheblackest Make sure you have the correct versions of NI software for your operating system, you can check it here: Compatibility of Native Instruments Products on macOS
