Hi @Dysfunk_DJ, thanks for the details about the issue and your setup - this is very helpful. Is this a new issue since updating to 5.5.2 and/or macOS 26.1?

Really not sure mate I only noticed it yesterday. Hopefully engineer team can replicate it. Doesn’t happen on iOS or Rekordbox so not hardware issue.

Thanks @Dysfunk_DJ, there seems to be an issue with the video you uploaded. Can you please trying uploading it again? Thanks!

Done my friend. Thank you

Hi @Dysfunk_DJ, our team was able to reproduce this and they’re investigating further.

Excellent. Looking forward to a resolution. Hopefully will be a quick fix.

Hi @Slak_Jaw is there any update on this bug? I checked with new M5 MacBook and bug remains with M chips also. I know it’s Christmas period so not expecting to be fixed until new year but was wondering if engineers have found the source of issue.

Hi @Dysfunk_DJ, I don’t have any updates from engineering, but I will check in again with them after the holidays. Thanks!

Thank you @Slak_Jaw much appreciated

You’re welcome @Dysfunk_DJ

Hi @Dysfunk_DJ, engineering has identified the issue and is working on a fix which should be included in an upcoming update (likely 5.6.3). Thanks!

Oh lovely. Nice one.
