Default Re: Pt 11 mac no longer working right

Yes geez some info would help.

All these external drives are what exact make/model drives and are formatted with what filesystem? They pass disk verify?

Maybe even something really basic... like did you have the correct playback engine selected? It's an easy mistake to make.

Test as well by using the Built-in Output as the playback engine and see if that works.

One problem like this with some interface and drivers can be fixed by toggling the playback buffer size in Pro Tools or the interface control panel. But we can't guess what interface you have. Also hopefully whatever interface you have you do not have that set to OS X system sound output or in use by any other app.

When you trash prefs make sure you are following the correct instructions for your OS version (which we can't guess).

What has changed on your Mac? Have you installed any updates? Is your Mac fully optimized? Auto updates turned off? or did you get shot by an update?

If trashing prefs does not help, then also try creating a new account with admin preferences and test from there.

This can also be a sign of a corrupt session. Do other sessions do this? If not then try a Save In of the current session or create a new session and import the existing session content into that one if you have to.
