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?
