Creating aggregate device in Audio MIDI setup, choosing device in System Preferences/Sound
Crackling audio in any format combination. It worked beautifully before the Monterey update.
I've been researching/troubleshooting since November 2021 with no luck.
Any fixes out there I can't find?
I had a similar issue with crackling only through the second aggregated device while recording in Studio One and mayyyybe seem to have found a fix?
I am using a Macbook pro with two Presonus Quantum 2626 devices aggregated - connected both with thunderbolt cables into two plugs in my Macbook and timing with Wordclock. Running Sonoma 14.2.1.
When I opened Universal Control, it indicated that it had an update available. After updating, each of my devices had a firmware update recommended which I also updated. After this, I restarted my computer and it seems I had to re-set up my aggregate device in the Audio-Midi setup, etc, but after all of this, the crackling issue has so far been resolved.
Hope this helps some others!
