Audio Dropouts with New (2018) Mac Mini [Solved -- Time Machine]

I don't know if it helps, but I was able to confirm that the "EQ" bars continue to move during a dropout.

jdindc: Did you say your dropouts are LONG, like 2 seconds each? That's very different than what I experienced on my system. That might indicate a different failure mechanism. Have you tried a different DAC? Or maybe the internal sound card of the Mac? Just trying to isolate the variables.

Your SSD experience seems similar to mine in some ways. My MacBook Pro that had the problem had a regular spinning hard drive in it. At one point I did a FULL reinstall of everything from scratch on that Mac. My initial tests, after reinstallation, showed no dropouts! But then I started loading more programs, and more media files (like videos that were large, which pushed the drive utilization up. What's really odd is, the more full my drive got, I started noticing dropouts. As it got more full, I got more dropouts.
I never got that drive "very full" (like over 90%), but I definitely noticed a correlation between drive fullness and dropouts.
My new Mac had an SSD from the start and quadruple the RAM, and a faster processor. It's never had dropouts. Not sure what combination influenced that the most. The SSD might be the whole key. Or not.

Are you aware of this? It certainly sounds like something that could be relevant.

Oh wow, that's not good. Hopefully Apple fixes that ASAP in an update.
