Hi guys,

After a recent Mac ARM OSX update, I am experiencing frequent audio malfunctions. When I switch to preview a different event, it just refuses to play the event as if I have no sound card. Then I had to go to preferences and disconnect and reconnect my sound card, which started working again. I tried reinstalling sound card drivers, but the problem persists. No other software is encountering such issues, so I am guessing it might be FMOD?

My specs:

- MacBook M2 Pro

- Sonoma 14.7.1

- RME Babyface Pro

I have not been able to reproduce this issue with Sonoma 14.7.1, latest FMOD Studio, and an external sound card.  
Can you please tell me what version of FMOD Studio you are using, and send me your [FMOD Studio log](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/troubleshooting.html#i-have-discovered-a-bug-in-fmod-studio) next time you get a dropout?

Hi, we are using 2.02.04 & 08. I will send a log next week when I’ll be in the office again. 🙂
