Blue Yeti X Mic & Big Sur / M1 Macbooks - Error trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI

Hey guys - so I recently got one of the snazzy new M1 Macbooks and simultaneously upgraded to Big Sur and have been getting this error repeatedly with my Blue Yeti X microphone: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI" (working out of Garageband)

Have tried everything under the sun, including trying the mic with a windows and older macbook air (both work fine), restarting, software updates, etc. Seems like a Blue Yeti software compatibility with Big Sur, but not sure if anyone else is experiencing this as well.

Has anyone else been experiencing this issue (with the Yeti or other devices?)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

Yeti Microphone Issues With M1 Mac - Apple Community

The link above is the issue I am having, the mic is detected, but the sound echos/repeats. Sometimes it goes fast and sounds like a chipmunk. When I press record, the second counter goes crazy. Recording a 5 second clip then saves as a repeating/echoing 30 second clip. Still can't find any answers.

Interesting. My problem started with the 11.2 Big Sur update. Did your 2013 machine get that far in updates?

This is the same issue I'm having. I emailed Blue. Waiting on a reply.
