Maybe it needs a powered usb hub? I don't think so, the interface keeps working and never shuts down. I tried connecting the interface to the external monitor (it shares USB ports with the Macbook) and also to a dongle, and the problem persists.What could it be? Here's what comes to mind: But I noticed that while the audio from my Macbook cuts out, I can still hear myself speaking from the headphones, so the interface is working properly and never turning itself off even just for a few seconds. One thing I tried was changing the USB port to which the interface was connected, as I thought that maybe it wasn't getting the power it needed. The fact that the issue was gone also suggests me that there's no problem with the interface, I'm almost 100% sure the problem is with my Macbook. I have done nothing strange with the Macbook, I just think the problem reoccurs after a while or after the Mac has been sleeping. One day after, the problem still persists. Yesterday I tried resetting the SMC and to my surprise, the issue was gone. The driver is up to date (reinstalled multiple times), and I'm on the latest version of BigSur. I don't think there's a problem with the interface, since it works well on my PC. I don't have the same issue when I'm using bluetooth speakers.

It's like if some audio process goes completely off for half a second, and restarts immediately.

Every minute or two, the sound goes completely off (it doesn't matter if I'm watching a video, listening to a track, or recording) AND it stops recording, then after a second (or a fraction of it) the sound comes back. Let me describe the issue: I have both my headphones and my microphone plugged to the interface, so I can both hear and record from it.

I'm using my MBP 2017 along with my USB Audio Interface (Presonus Audiobox iTwo) and I've been having some problems for a while.
