USB Audio drops until unpluged

I am new to macs - and have just hooked my first mac mini up to my scarlett 2i4 audio controller via usb. No issues, it works until the mini goes to sleep - when I bring it back up by entering my password, the lights on the scarlett flash, but the sound does not work.


I simply unplug the usb cable from the mac and plug it back in, and it works again for the session.


Is there a way to set this so that I don't have to manually unplug/replug the cable?


Thanks for any help!

Mac mini 2018 or later

Hey RitchyJames,


We understand you're having an issue with your audio controller not working after waking your Mac from sleep.


Let's start with steps in this resource: How to reset the SMC of your Mac


Test your audio controller after you reset the SMC and report back to us.


Cheers!
