Apple’s Latest Macs with T2 Chip Have a Serious Audio Glitching Bug

Peter Kirn:

The problem is, it appears that this new chip has introduced glitches on a wide variety of external audio hardware from across the pro audio industry, thanks to a bug in Apple’s software. Issues with the way the new chip synchronizes timing causes dropouts and glitches in the audio stream. (It seems basically all USB 2.0 audio interfaces will be impacted. This of course unfortunately leads users to blame their interface manufacturer, but the fault lies with Apple.)

This will mostly impact pros who are using audio interfaces in production environments, basically screwing them over, having to look for solutions while they’re scrambling to get their job done.
