Q: Ableton crashes & audio glitches due to audio driver

Hi there,

 

Has anyone experienced crashes with pro audio DAW's caused by the audio driver since the last update? Since a week my Ableton crashes every time (mostly between 5 till 10 minutes from starting the program). Even when I just load up a single audio track for playback, it still happens. All drivers are up to date.

 

Besides that, I also experience some audio stutters/glitches while playing music from YouTube.

 

These problems are only there for less than a week, so it might be there was an automatic update which caused these problems.

 

 

My setup:

1x Mac Pro 6-core (late 2013)

3x Focusrite RedNet 2

1x Focusrite RedNet 1

1x a PCI-e card for lower latency connected with Thunderbolt to the mac

And a bunch of other hardware which cannot cause the problem.

 

The soundcards are connected via Ethernet, and everything worked fine before. So if anyone can help me out or experiences the same troubles as I have, let me know!

 

 

Thank you!

 

 

Sincerely,

Tim Peeters

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
