Akai APC 40 the controllers continuously output values without being touched

Dear community,
I own an Akai APC Controller which I like a lot. I am using Live 11 suite on a Macbook Pro 2019, Big Sur. Unfortunately, my APC 40 is somehow going crazy. The encoders give out values all the time without touching them. That was already the case with Live 9 version on an older Macbook, but not so extreme.
Do any of you know this bug? Is there a solution how I can fix the problem? It would be such a shame to say goodbye to this great controller.
Many thanks for helpful replies.

Does it means that parameter in Live are moving by themselves?

yes. Its changing the parameter values of the selected plugins in Ableton. That is very anoing.
