Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI on new M2 Mac mini/Ventura 13.1.2 New M2 Mac mini (set up on Feb 17) macOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) GarageBand 10.4.5 I receive the following error whenever I open and play any audio file, including ones created using GarageBand on iOS or in iMovie on this Mac, and even the using audio selected from the Loop Library. “Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI. Sample Rate 48,000 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device.” This is basically happening when any audio file is played, no matter the source. I've quit one relaunched GarageBand, restarted the Mac, tried different settings for the mic in Audio MIDI Setup, etc., but the issue persists. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.
