Live and interface don't get along

Post by mar.wan.rar » Tue Nov 22, 2022 10:28 am

I have a strange issue here. When I use Live with my audio interface (presonus studio192), it simply doesn't work. It does not render the audio properly, lots of clicks n' pops, things run slowly to the point that it is no longer possible to make any kind of change. For example, if I select my interface as audio output device, Live won't let me change buffer size and stuff. The CPU usage meter is out of control. Things run smoothly if I select built-in speakers or another audio interface as my audio device. I assume this is a Live/interface incompatibility since things work fine in other daws (Reaper, Logic Pro). I updated the device's firmware . I am running live on a 2021 macbook pro (M1, 16 GB ram) and I tried running live both via M1 and Rosetta. Plz help me, I'm freaking out :-)

yes, it is the only one available. I usually use a buffer size of 128-256ish
