I have audio glitch/crackling issues with overbridge and my M1 Pro MacBook. I spent several hours reviewing the recommendations here on this forum. But no solution so far! Than I did the following comparison to isolate the issue.
I tested the whole setup, cables, etc with a second MacBook. Here are the two setups:
Computer A - a 2021 MacBook M1 Pro - Sonoma 14.1.1
This is my music production computer and has a clean installation of Sonoma 14.1.1. No other programs have been installed to keep the system clean of potential interferences.
Computer B - a 2023 MacBook M3 Max - Sonoma 14.1.1
This is my work computer and has other programs installed.
Computer A has audio glitches and crackling. Computer B works without any audio issue
I tested both computers like this:
- both setups use the same cables, Elektron Overhub, etc
- Rytm Overbridge plugin in stand alone
- No DAW involved
- Overbridge 2.7.1
- Rytm 1.70
- tested all 3 USB ports
- audio listened through MacBook speakers and headphones
I did the same test with the Analog 4 with the same result.
It seems to me there is a particular issue with the M1 Pro chip and overbridge.
Did I miss anything?
