[QUOTE="jirshaidat, post: 1723971, member: 380574"] Hello, I use a late 2015 Retina iMac, which is connected to a Yamaha AG06 USB interface. The interface provides sound output to my studio monitors. For the past few months, audio has been working flawlessly, but all of a sudden yesterday things went awry. Audio works briefly (often less than 30 seconds) and then crackling / distortion occurs, eventually leading to audio fading out and back in. The is resolved temporarily if I turn off the interface and turn it back on. I have not altered any settings or installed new applications - the issue simply appeared out of nowhere. At first I assumed it was the fault of the USB interface itself, but I have tested it on another Mac and it is working with no issues. I have tried restarting, shutting down, uninstalling all additional audio peripherals and unplugging all other USB devices, but the issue is still there. I have tested other USB peripherals, including a Schiit Audio USB DAC, and all is well. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Any ideas what could be the cause? Any insight is highly appreciated! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
