Hello!
I’ve noticed that Cubase crashes with an audio stutter/freeze under these conditions:
-
Mono audio track has a SEND (any plug-in, even if deactivated) and has OUTPUT ROUTING set to a GROUP.
-
Audio buffer is set to 1024 or lower at any point during the session
-
Track has monitoring toggled on, then toggled off
-
Audio stutters (previous 200ms or so of last output); cursor and UI still responsive but audio playback is hijacked by stutter
*Can’t quit, can only Force Quit
*If the project was opened with the audio buffer set to 2048 and never adjusted, then toggling off track monitoring does NOT result in the same crash.
*If the OUTPUT ROUTING is returned to the STEREO OUT, then the problem is also circumvented.
*Problem persists even if I switch drivers to Built-In Audio.
I know my rig is ancient and my issue irrelevant to most, but I am hoping someone somewhere has a fix that will restore my Cubase experience to its former dependability. Wondering if it’s a macOS x Cubase interaction, and if updating OS will help. Thank you.
I am running:
