Topic: RME UC causes CPU spikes that result in Macbook freeze/crash
Hi Lovely forum people,
I have a problem with my recently purchased (second hand) RME UC. it runs smoothly for a while, like between 30 minutes and an hour, and then suddenly can't handle the simples sessions anymore. My Ableton freezes. and then I sort of have to figure out how to get everything working again. I'm not sure yet on the fastest procedure to get it up and running, but of course, this shouldn't be happening at all.
this happens on multiple MacBooks and a Mac mini, all of different years but all powerful enough to at least run basic projects. My own specs are:
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
Mojave 10.14.6
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
Firmware of the Rme is v126, Driver v 3.21
My TotalMix software is: v1.73
other audio interfaces work fine, switching the usb cable doesn't make a difference
Has anyone encountered similar issues and solved it?
Anyone know where the problem might lie?
Is it possible in the worst case scenario to get it repaired for a reasonable price (I'm in the Netherlands) if it's necessary?
Appreciate the help guys/girls!
Thank you for reading. Hopefully we can figure this out
