ASIO Guard is constantly almost Clipping (C13/Mac Sillicon/natively)

Cubase

Hello,

my Mac Studio M1 Max (64GB RAM) is constantly having a high ASIO Guard Performance (See Pic) although I am not playing anything.

Changing the buffersize wont change anything aswell.

My Settings are as shown in the 2nd pic. Deactivating MultiProcessing and Asio Guard will result in >no performance at all< → No sound will play.
Changing the settings to Default will just result in a Non-Performance at all.

Using C13 in Rosetta mode with the same settings results in no constant asio peaking but in an overall performance that just stutters.

Turning off all the Virt Instr and all the plug ins still results in about 60 % Asio Peaking.

So under windows there seems to be an “Activate Steinberg Audio Power Scheme” that solves this issue.
But what to do on a Mac?
Any help appreciated.

Thx

Is it the same in a empty project?

No- an empty project looks like That:

BUT:

I turned off all the Virt Instr and all the plug ins and I still got about 60 % Asio Peaking.

Then it’s most likely something wrong with one of your plugins
They can still produce the error as long they ar loaded in the project

I now successively deleted all the plug Ins and the Asio Load decreased BUT now my project is empty and I still got these numbers in performance:

looks about right, that’s almost nothing.
