I have a Mac Studio M2 Ultra 192GB with Sequoia 15.5
Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
Computer will immediately reboot when I tried the following when executing the Kontakt 7 or the latest Kontakt 8 players:
- I have tried to set different resolutions on my G9 monitor (All of them), also, changed 60Hz or 120Hz refresh rate for the G9 monitor that is plugged into the HDMI port on the back of the computer with the cable that came with the monitor. (Same Problem)
- Plugged my monitor into different ports. (Same Problem)
- Launch Kontakt 7 natively without any other software such as DAWs or other plugins. (Same Problem)
- Launch Kontakt 8 natively without any other software such as DAWs or other plugins. (Same Problem)
- Reinstalled Kontakt 7 and 8 (Latest) then opened the software again. (Same Problem)
- Updated my Mac OS to the latest version. (Same Problem)
- I also had re-install the mac OS the initial time, but the kernel panic still happened. (Same Problem)
I just don’t understand why this is still an issue since 2023. I don’t have this problem running Kontakt version 6 where the computer freezes and reboots due to some kernel panic. The Kontakt version 7 and 8 players are the only applications that have caused this kernel panic. I didn’t even know what a kernel panic was until I had this issue with my new mac studio back in 2023 and started the initial kontakt 7 player.
I purchased the Komplete Upgrade to get the latest Kontakt 8 player, thinking that this Kernel Panic problem would be solved, but no.
Why is this such a problem?
Because of this problem, I’m forced to using an older Mac Pro to get by. Again other VST software apps and plug-ins do not cause kernel panics.
Is there a fix for this? So far, I have been waiting for 1.5 years for it! It is starting to really frustrate me and also is causing production issues for me in my business! Can someone please tell me the solution for this?
