    Hi Olli,

    AuditionDSP (like any other audio software on macOS) talks to the hardware through Apple’s CoreAudio software layer and through the hardware manufacturer’s device driver (if the hardware requires it). So AuditionDSP can’t “kill” the hardware.

    I’d suggest ensuring the DAC8 is running the latest firmware and googling audio problems with macOS Sequoia. Also, I found this thread on Audio Science Review where a user had to hard reset the Okta DAC8 to get it functioning again.
