I'm a student who recently installed Max 7 for a computer music course. I also make a lot business calls over Skype, and yesterday when trying to make a call I was told my audio was high-pitched and frequently stuttered. After running through every possible setting change/fix, the problem was still there, except when I switched to the computer's built-in microphone (I use my Zoom H2 via USB for calls). The only recent changes to my setup that could have caused this are upgrading to El Capitan, and installing Max. Is it possible that something about the way Max is configured is interfering with my computer's audio drivers, causing the USB input to become scrambled? If so, is there a way to fix this without uninstalling the program completely? Any help is appreciated, as this is a fairly urgent matter. If you need me to provide more details please let me know.

Max possibly interfering with Skype call quality? Has anyone else run into this?
