Hi, as it is really hard to replicate this issue, could you confirm that if this is still happening on the latest version of eqMac please?

@bbarnes870, @faryar76, @superjeng1 - This might be related to #780 - I experience both of these issues on macOS Venture with an Apple M2 chip.

Update: Here are some additional bugs related to macOS and Ventura - https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+mac+ventura

@schalkneethling Thanks! It does sound similar but it's a bit different. #780 happens when eqMac doesn't see it's driver, but the driver is actually there, it is just the system has not fully woke up. If this is driver related, it might be the shared memory of the app and the driver went out of sync and could only be fixed currently by restarting coreaudiod.
As I have not heard back from @bbarnes870 or @faryar76 yet, I would close this issue for now. If you are still having this issue, please feel free to comment on this.
