Problem with video calls after using Max/MSP on Mac Intel.
These months I began to use Max/MSP on a MacBook Air 2017 during my stay at hospital, since I had to sell my pro to afford my chemos. The prob is after using Max/MSP I began to have an issue when I make a video call (FaceTime, WeChat, WhatsApp, etc.). The sound gets like a kind of delay effect, I suspect the issue is related with the microphone of my device. So, I restarted the PRAM and SMC and stills the same prob. What should I do?
Sorry to hear about your health problems and send best wishes for good recovery !
I also experienced Internet slowdowns while running Max 8.
Whatever it is doing in background (which I have no time or interest to analyse)
does affect internet speed. But only when Max is active.
If you completely quit Max, there should be no problems.
I blocked Max <-> network completely using a firewall.
Sure, it can't use package manager and all other web things,
udp etc but it does not disturb internet performance.
It is outgoing that needs to be blocked. I use radio silence - little firewall for that.
in cases Max needs to use network, I temporary let it do so.
Before, I restarted (Factory Reset) my MacBook to eliminate the prob. It was a success. But, now due to I have to be in the hospital, I have my online classes and the video calls become impossible. Then, I have to work with Max since it is part of my major studies. So, reseting my Mac every time I use it is not convenient.
