This is probably this famous bug. http://cdm.link/2019/02/apple-2018-glitch/
In system preferences: date and time: turn off 'set date and time automatically' and 'set time zone automatically using current location'
This will lessen the frequency of the drop outs. I get them too on 2018 Mac Mini. Using my RME Babyface in a Thunderbolt 3 hub until Apple decide to fix it.

So answering this post instead of the other one saying "bit crushed sound", because i get exactly the same problem... Audio stops for 1/2 second once in a while.

OSX MOJAVE 10.14.5, Mac Mini 2018, i7-6cores, 32 gigs RAM.  RME MADIFace, using the Cal Digit Thunderbolt 3 Mini dock.  Latest drivers installed.

I really thought the 10.14.4 update would fix the audio problem, and I think that with 10.14.4 I had less dropouts than 10.14.5

Can anyone confirm they have the same problems, and help me with a solution?

Thanks a lot
