Apple Studio USB-A ports with External USB Bose Companion Speakers - sound dropping

Hi,


Just set up my Apple Studio Max and migrated my hardware configuration from a 2017 iMac Pro.


Previously used the Bose Companion speakers via iMac Pro USB-A ports without a problem.


Connected the usb speakers to the Studio's USB-A ports and it works for a while, then drops out. Speaker still shows in the system preferences, but no sound. Disconnecting and reconnecting fixes the issue, but I don't want to be doing that every 5 minutes.


Curiously, I have no issue if I use a USB-C adapter and plug the speakers into a Thunderbolt port.


I noted on another post that someone had an issue with USB-A port and a USB Mic being recognised but not taking any sound input.


Is there a power issue with the Studio's USB-A ports?


Any ideas?


Regards,

Dom
