I've had the M1 Max 64 for a few months without a hiccup running lots of plugins like Spitfire, Cherry Audio, Arturia, etc, between two or more DAW's. Suddenly, I'm getting all kinds of popping, clicking or volume jumps in my main two DAWs. I've tried different configurations of buffers and sample rates within the DAW's as well as changing settings within Apple's Audio options, (Speakers at 44,000Khz, 48,000 Khz, etc) to no avail. I've tested the output with headphones, external speakers and the laptop speakers themselves. They all do it. That tells me it's coming from Apple's side. Considering this is relatively new since my purchase a few months ago, I'm perplexed as to what could be causing it. Was there a quiet update in the background? Can't say. But Apple really needs to get on this. Between the Apple products and third party products, I've put out a lot of money to get my studio up and running. Right now, I cannot deliver any product and I'm losing money. Apple, please respond and at least give us some kind of insight.
