Mac Studio & Rode NT-USB Mini Support Issue Why is my RODE NT-USB Mini Mic not working right at all on my M1 Max Mac Studio but works just fine on my older 2020 M1 MacBook Pro 13"??? When creating a Voice Memo, GarageBand recording, or anything else on my M1 MacBook Pro using the NT-usb Mini, it sounds perfectly fine. When attaching it to the M1 Max Mac Studio I get about 10 seconds or less of normal sounding recorded input until it begins to repeat 1 seconds worth of the most recent microphone input on a loop with added crackling sounds, starting at about 10 seconds the entire recording. I have plugged the mic into the Mac Studio with direct USB-C cables along with dongles. I've already spoken with RODE and we have updated the mic's firmware and it is fully updated to the latest along with restoring it to factory settings and restarting everything and making sure the mic is the primary input device, as well but it will still continue to loop audio, sound crackling, and not work right at all on the Mac Studio. It works perfectly fine on the M1 MacBook Pro. Help please! - Brian

Is your phone next to the Mic? Turn it off or remove it from the room.

No, the phone is not close to the mic. The mic isn't close to the computer either.. it isn't a constant interference, its happening when recording the vocals.
