Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
Just got my new Pro Tools Carbon interface and this thing is incredible. Only problem I'm having is once I open a session I'm noticing my laptop fan running all the time at a higher level than usual. Even when the session is blank with nothing in it. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the AVB setup. I've searched around and haven't seen anyone else saying they are having the same problem so I figured I'd post here and see if anyone has heard of or experienced this.
Also, before my Carbon I had a UA Apollo X8 and was using the same version of PT and everything was fine. The fans only started running more once I got this new interface. Thanks! Chris |

Re: Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
Hey! The top usage is "kernel_task" and the next one is "coreaudiod (Not Responding" and that one is in red. I've restarted a couple times and it keeps showing up like that. Could possibly be an Apple call I should make. It just wasn't doing that until I installed the Carbon interface. It uses the Audio/Midi setup in a way I've never seen before.

One for core audio for use with third party applications (like playing back youtube) And one dedicated exclusively for PT. Ah yes just found a reference . From Sound On Sound article : "Carbon actually shows up as two devices in Audio MIDI Setup and in System Preferences. This is no accident: one of the two devices is available only to Pro Tools, while the other allows Mac OS itself and any Core Audio applications to access Carbon.Nov 12, 2020" Be really interested to see if and how you resolve this,,, as I have a Carbon and new iMac coming

Re: Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
Update: So far I've tried everything I've found on the internet and still haven't solved it. My guess is "coreaudiod (not responding)" is the issue. I've seen from searches this has been an issue with Pro Tools in the past.
I submitted a case to Avid and I'll write back here once I hear from them. Thanks! Chris |

Re: Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
Tried removing then re-Installing the driver?
Sounds like the new dual - Hybrid Engine is Core-Audio-Like but not native to macOS. t

Re: Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
When a process says this on Activity Monitor it means there is incompatibility or a bug. Unfortunate for you, but let's assume it is not a bug because there are many happy campers so please double check your OS and PT versions. After that also double check whatever plugins you are using, because even single bad plugin may cause that. Easiest check for plugins is to throw everything to unused folder as PT will copy core plugins back and you will instantly know if it is some third party plugin that caused your trouble.

I don't have any other AVB devices to try ('cos it's a nuts way of attaching an studio project audio interface), but I suspect the problem is Apple's, not Avid's. The only reason I think I can use the Carbon with immunity from drop-outs and laptop-fan noise, is because I'm using a Mac Pro, not a laptop. Quote:

The Carbon itself shows no real fannoise. The thing itself is just a brilliant piece for producers like me. In case it finally will work as planned ^^ I opened a case at AVID-Support and hope they have a quick fix ready. Need it up and running by next week >< |

Re: Pro Tools Carbon Laptop Fan Noise
Perhaps give the SMC a reset on your laptop - https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201295
