Just like the title says, whenever I run a test tone of any type, I get a jittery type of sound. For example, when measuring a speaker, the blip isn't smooth, and there are very quick gaps of silence in between the sound. This is happening when I play test tones through my mini DSP, but not through the my computer speakers. Wondering if this might be a buffer setting or something in preferences that I need to set correctly. I'm using a new Mac laptop with M1 chip. Never had this problem on my old apple laptop computer, and the computer is the only thing that's changed set up wise since the last time successfully did REW measurements about a year ago. Same USB cables, SHD, software, etc. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Make sure the sample rate is the same in REW and in Audio Midi Setup for the input and output you are using.

Hey, just letting you know this was the Audio Midi Setup being incorrectly set up on my end. Changed the sample rate so that it was the same for input and output, and problem solved. Thanks so much for the help!

Well shoot, same issue persists. Not sure what I changed, as I recently had REW working correctly, but here are screen shots of my preferences in REW and Midi. Thanks in advance for taking a look!

That just means notifications are being routed through the SHD. Suddenly everything is working again. No idea what I did, but I don't think this is an REW issue. Thanks for your response!
