Hi,

I have not found any other reports of this issue with nRF Connect for Desktop, but there are some similar reports out there (like this and this). Perhaps it is worth looking into the suggested fixes/workaround in those threads?

This worked in a weird way!

if anybody else has the same problem, i had some scrap .vst3 pluggins in the mac /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins  folder and when i removed them it worked again.

if anybody asks them selfs why this happens like i did over and over again. this is off course the audio pluggin validation feature of osa that will remind you if you have any scraping audio plugins :) .
