Unable to load audio driver - Cubase 12
Hello. I have a 16" 2019 Macbook pro running Ventura with 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 running Ventura 13.3.1
When running loading large cubase 12 projects the software tells me that it cannot load the audio driver. This can be built-in internal audio driver in my mac, or one of two other audio drivers (focusrite-USB or allen and heath-Firewire).
When this happens I am unable to a) use cubase b) play any other sound on my mac (e.g., youtube gives audio render error, apple music just makes no sound, VLC the same, soundcloud just won't load the page, the spotify app says it's unable to play).
I've been in contact with cubase now and after trying a number of things they told me to contact the audio device hardware manufacturers. They also told me that there is an issue with the audio driver in the Ventura OS.
This does not happen with all cubase projects, only ones which use a significant amount of processing power/memory. I think I have the latest drivers for everything. This has been happening for about 6 months now.
If anyone has any ideas of how I can solve it I'd be very grateful. Are there log files for the apple audio driver which I might be able to look at to see why this is happening?
Thank you.
