I have an original Kickstarter Sprout, which has been doing me solid since I received it. I mainly use it connected to a computer and I never had an issue with it, until recently. I switched to a MacBook Pro with apple silicon M1 chip and associated OS. Ever since I get a lot of static type buzzing randomly, and what sounds like clipping. This only occurs when using the Mac, no issues when using a windows PC. Recently I decided to try using a usb to coaxial to replace the usb to the Sprout. That doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore.

Are these known issues?
