M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
Hi,
I know that Sonoma is not yet qualified with Carbon, but nonetheless I thought my experience might be useful : I am configuring a Apple Mac Studio M2 Max, and noticed that if I just restart the system, Carbon will not reconnect properly to the network again. For Carbon to reconnect I have to shut down the mac, restart Carbon (extinguish + start), and then start the Mac. Obviously the mac restart process does not reinstate correctly the AVB ethernet connection, but worse, it hangs the Carbon internal software, so restart of the Carbon unit becomes necessary before restarting the Mac. Best regards, Markl FYI, I only have the Carbon Ethernet cable directly plugged into the Mac Studio, no hubs boxes or anything.

Re: M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
I don't think this problem is limited to Sonoma - I have seen a simlar problem on and off through Catalina (Mac Pro 2019) and Monterey and Ventura (M1 Max). Something is badly behaved and I'm never sure if it's AVB on the Mac or the Carbon itself.

Re: M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
I had this a few times and the solution each time was to reinstall the carbon firmware.

Re: M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
I was able to get it to work again after disabling WiFi, than opening ProTools.
maybe this could help for you too ?

Re: M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
Hi,
I reply to my own post to update everyone interested on the results of the numerous tests I did. To make it short, my M2 Mac Studio boots *very* fast (8"). So fast that it somehow interferes with the very extensive probing of network ports by the Carbon Central Application, and this seems to confuse it a little. My workaround has been simple : I removed Carbon Central from the startup apps. When the mac is started, I manually launch CC, and it detects the Carbon unit in about 4 seconds ! If I forget to start it and run Pro Tools, it will ask me to choose a audio engine, I then start Carbon Central and then click next, select the carbon extended engine and am back in business. I have had a similar issue with V-Control, a Neyrinck software to enable me to use my Avid C24 control surface in Silicon native mode. In that case the problem is that the ultrafast boot does not give sufficient time to the Pace / iLok services time to properly load; So V-Control hangs Same workaround, I removed it from the startup items and launch it manually. All this seems simple but it really made my life hell until I understood the root of the problem. I know that Neyrinck is a very responsive company so no doubt an update will sooner or later be published. As for Avid, I don't know what they are up to Have a good day everyone ! Mark

Re: M2 Max Studio @ Carbon issues
If you only have the one Carbon , and if you do not need CC for the C24 ? then there is no need to run Carbon Central at all is there ?

I read through this and passed it along to the product owner of Carbon - Mark. I do know that we haven't seen this since we've not qualified Carbon with Sonoma... but this doesnt surprise us here. We've seen similar issues as computers get faster with applications that autolaunch faster than the network issues IP addresses Mark will log this with Eng so if/when we do qual Carbon w Sonoma we can look at possibly adding a delay. In the past, folks have scripted a delay for autolaunch applications that seems to help. Not sure how they have done it but if you need me to check into that - let me know. Thanks for posting the original and your findings. Marianna
