Topic: Audio drops Fireface UFX III + 12mic-D over MADI opt

Hello,
I have some audio drops during recording. About a second of absolute silence in all the recorded tracks. After the drop it continues recording normally.
In a 4 hours recording session it only happened twice, but non acceptable…
My setup is:
- Fireface UFX III (driver 4.08 (2), firmware USB 20 DSP 7 CC 44, connected to computer over USB 3 (C).
- 12mic-D (firmware 1.1.0) connected to UFX III over MADI optical (SFP module + 50m extension ALVA cable)
- MacBook Pro 2021, M1 Pro, macOS Monterey 12.6.3
- Pro Tools Studio 2023.6.0
- Recording 10 channels at 96kHz/24bits, UFX III master clock and 12mic-D slaved over MADI opt and 96k frame.
Any idea where is the problem? Or any test I could do to find it?
Thank you!

What I would try : Update all software and clock master where the converter is.
12Mic master and UFX slave.
MacOS upgrade to Sonoma
RME driver update to 409

I can't see any mistake in your post, not sure if my suggestions will solve the problem, just a try.
