No Sound (Kontakt 8, MacBook Pro, M1 Max 64GB RAM, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1

Everything seems to otherwise work. However, I cannot get a sound out. I use Presonus Studio One 7 Pro. Other VST/Plugins work just fine, only Kontakt (no matter the Instrument I choose) won't produce a sound. Any ideas?

Need more detail here from your audio interface, to how it is set up in S1 to the routing you are using within a typical song in S1.

There are many reasons why sound cannot be heard like checking the audio connections in Kontakt itself - or better yet - running it in standalone to confirm it is working alone - without S1.

I had that thought right after I posted, thank you. The same problem occurs in Kontakt 8 (full version) standalone. No sound, no matter the instrument I load up in Kontakt. Mac as described above.

Still need to know your audio interface and what it looks like in Kontakt’s audio settings.

Hello VP,

thanks again for responding in such a timely manner. I had originally wanted to respond again, this time with screen shots. However, all of last night and most of today, I went into native access and re-installed everything …145 instruments, some 400+GB… and now everything seems to work….still in the process of trying out each instrument individually but so far, everything seems to work. Still ticks me off I had to do that (I had K7 full version previously, everything worked fine, so it makes no sense to me that just installing K8 effed everything up), but there it is… anyways, thanks again for replying so quickly.

Best Regards,

Tom

Oh, and to answer your question, direct USB from the NI M32 to my Mac Laptop, no external interface.
