Hello @GP crew,
(sorry, long text, trying to give the necessary information)
i run now repeatedly into the same problem:
Starting GP, do i get a pop up, saying ( as posted in the title):
“Audio Interface not found”. …“quite or continue ?”…as the context options to select.
BUT: my (second) audio interface is on and running ! (and my first one is anyway on)
( my GIGs are mostly set to my second interface / a presonus Quantum2626, TB3 connection ( directly to M1mac) )
now: if i click “continue”, is the next popup saying:
“Gig Performer cannot run without an audio interface. Please install… (etc.)”
( incl. a OK button. …clicking it will exit GPs startup)
means: i´m unable to start GP at all ! since the same cycle would continue then again,
ie. me trying to start GP again, the same cycle goes on…
so far was it then “in this situation so”:
i need to reboot my computer, and things work again. GP in this case.
I “then” can start GP, usually. Had no fail after a reboot.
Just: i work, i do other things, firefox is on, many tabs open.
i need to shut down everything to reboot.
Thats on a M1mac with BigSur.
This setup worked since ever fine !
I have this problem since a 2-3 weeks maybe. maybe 4.
But its not allways so. Usually would GP run fine !
same conditions usually. Means: if something more is open, is it allways the same things.
Mostly: firefox with several tabs. Sometimes: some more audio apps like wavelab, live11, or similar.
During the last months, since the time i have my second AI,. i sometimes forgot to power on my 2nd AI ( the one, set to GP), …clicking then “continue” on the popup - after powering on my AI- would GP just start fine. There was never a problem, even if my AI was off at first.
Something must have changed.
The only thing i could figure out is:
i installed: “sound Source” from rogue amoeba ( same brand as loopback)
Sound source is an app, hacking itself into the path between apps, and your Audio interfaces.
and it allows to load VSTs. means i can for example load VSTs to tame down the audio from YT or Firefox/Netflix ( to tame down Bass etc).
its main purpose is to re-route the audio ( there is a similarity in that, to loopback / i have loopback,…never had a problem …)
what can i do ?
What should i do ?
is this thinkable that this “Soundsource” app is creating this problem ?
its not live on stage use ofcourse. Its studio/home use.
but its a problem, it prohibits me to use GP “inbetween other tasks”
