Audirvana stops the audio device with Apple Studio Display

Origin
1

After upgrading my hardware to Macbook Air M2 + Apple Studio Display, I am unable to listen music using the Studio Display speakers. Audirvana 3.5 immediately stops the audio device. Other devices such as the Macbook Air speakers, Apple Homepod and Cambridge Audio CXA81 work fine.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Stefano

PS: same problem with Audirvana Origin

Hi @Steve,

If you try to remove your audio unit and upsampling settings, does it works or not?

Sorry, don’t understand. Where can I remove the Audio Unit (you mean Sonimus?) and the unsampling settings?
Thanks,
Stefano

@Steve,

You need to go in the settings of Audirvāna Origin under the Processing and upsampling section to disable those settings:

This is what I see.

You need to click in the gear icon on the Processing section to disable the option and then in the Upsampling section to disable the option

OK now it works, but it is a pity I cannot use Sonimus.
Stefano

PS: anyway, I’ll refrain to use the Studio Display speakers.
