Logic Pro Audio Cuts out on a Mac mini M1

Constantly, as I'm just playing via a Midi keyboard, the audio interface (Thunderbolt) cuts out. To restore sound, I have to launch Settings>Devies>Output Device switch to System Settings, then return to USB interface, and apply.

I'm now doing this every 2-3 minutes while using Logic.

Mac mini, 8gb Ram, on Sequoia 15.4.

Mac mini, macOS 15.4

LogicPro on M1 - Start/Stop spacebar not working - PLEASE HELP this old man. Mac mini M1 (2020-Ventura 13.2) - Space bar for Logic Pro does not play or stop the audio anymore. I cannot figure it out. I’ve tried resetting everything but nothing makes any sense to me. I have an older Mac mini (Late 2014 - Monterey 12.6.2) that does NOT have this problem? Space bar for Start/Stop works fine on the old mini, but not my M1. What's up with that?... I'm losing my mind.

Logic Pro X volume cuts randomly This has happened multiple times on both stock logic instruments as well as third-party VSTs (Spitfire, Eastwest): I'll be playing (sometimes recording, sometimes not), and the volume on the track will cut out, either down to barely audible or out entirely. If I re-initialize the audio it fixes it, but it keeps happening every few minutes. From what I can tell it's not the MIDI controller, I've tried both keyboards I have and it's the same on both. Tried multiple cables. The answer is most likely an update as I'm using Logic 10.6.3 on Catalina 10.15.7, but I'm currently out of space on my internal HD, so much so that a software update isn't currently possible. Any help appreciated, thanks

Is your Mac's Mic Mode set to "Standard"? I would also check your cable. Grab another one to see if that is the culprit. Is this happening in other DAW's such as Garageband? Is it the hardware (interface), the cables, or the software? Try and reverse engineer the problem.

Good luck,

Eddie
