This one works!!! Yay!

Good to hear!
Looks like a possible hardware issue after all...

Curious: how does one fix this? I'm not running the audio through a DAW, just through the iMac's settings, which has the M2's clock source set to "Default". That default can't be changed, btw. Where else should I be looking? Can other programs be causing the issue? I also ran the M4 at OS...

Just had My m4 replaced which looks like a new batch, as it's packaged slightly different with side sponge rather that top bottom sponge. And I'm sure the nobs are grippy now with a diamond pattern. Anyway, The new replacement M4 has been soak testing this afternoon with the MacBook Pro M1 pro and i...

Pretty much the same distorted tinny electronic sounds yes, mine sounded a little more aggressive in areas like data pile ups.

Have the same problem, changed the cable, but didn't work. It is very weird, because sometimes the audio plays normally for a long time and nothing sounds bad. However, I noticed if you have multiple programs that are open (e.g. youtube, daw, zoom, etc.) the audio starts distorting. I wonder if it'...

i get a distorted 'bitcrushed' sound, resetting the sample rate fixes this in mac osx monterey. i purchased three cables including usb-c and tb4 to ensure this is not a cabling issue. any help would be appreciated How long was your TB4 cable? I'm thinking these need to be 0.8m or less to be backwar...

Same problems here. I recently purchased a Motu M4 for use with my 2021 14" MacBook Pro (m1pro chip) I also Filed an issue with Motu tech and went through similar procedures. I even ran the M4 without drivers being USB compliant (no change) Using a USB HUB cleared up my audio outs glitches, but...
