a loud pop and Logic froze ?

So I was editing some audio in Logic Pro today, then suddenly there was a loud pop and everything froze for about 30 seconds, after that all was fine,

the only thing I have changed is I have connected my audio interfaces and hard drives now connected through a Belkin TB2 Dock.

Any advice appreciated.

My new Apple Mac crashes when I plug headphones in I have a new MacBook Pro and I have plugged headphone in to it on three occassions. On each occassion the computer has shut down. On retart, Google Chrome also appears to have crashed and needs to be "verified" before it will reopen. Has anyone experienced this problem and do you know how it can be resolved?

Sound - 'no devices found' Sound unexpectedly stopped working. Only change is that I upgraded Zoom app and after installation, the computer restarted. See screenshot below. Same message for Input.

OS freezing after switching audio settings Hi, Firstly, I apologise for the title as I don't understand the issue very well and thus can't describe it well. Anyway, I experienced some major fps drops (140 to 0 to 140) in-game a couple of days ago if I was connected to a Discord call at the same time. The drops would persist if I closed Discord and left the call, which meant that I had to restart my MBP entirely for the drops to disappear. I ignored it afterwards as I didn't have to be in a call at the same time so it wasn't going to be a problem. Then, today I had to cmd-tab from my game to connect my bluetooth headset to my computer and the problem resurfaced, the drops started happening again. I closed my game as I couldn't be bothered to figure it out, thinking it would fix it. Alas, the problem didn't fix itself and my mouse kept freezing in place every couple of seconds, probably due to something similar to fps drops, and I had to restart my MBP to fix it again. Something peculiar to note with the occurrences, I can distinctly remember that the audio was somehow broken. For example, in the Discord call, I could hear my own feed, as you would when you're configuring your mic levels, and after connecting my headset I couldn't hear in-game sounds. I am not completely clueless about the macOS but I couldn't understand why the problem occurred or how to fix it. Therefore, I am writing this post to maybe get someone smarter than me to help me with this problem. As a side note, I have been able to use discord and my headset in-game without any problems in the past without problems. Thank you in advance.

I had that once and it was a duff/cheap cable. Are any of the cables you have new and if so were they cheap new cables?

This can also be caused by a drive which has gone to sleep.

Or, a CPU core overload.

Thank you Pancenter, how can the drive go to sleep? I have my external drives on all day no problem?

and as for the CPU core overload I only had 3 tracks in Logic, though the recording is almost an hour long, could this cause it?

Many thanks
