Sounds a bit like the firewall/network issues around secure connections; if you have them, try disabling the built-in firewall and/or disabling or completely removing network filters and VPN connections.
The new version of Soundsource is out.
Seems to be working! AwesomeJust updated and it seems to have fixed all my issues.
Hope it's working for you now.
.Most people don't run any kind of filtering/security software, and those that do should really know to consult with the vendors about supportability prior to upgrade. Most of what's been mentioned applies mostly to corporate environments/managed Macs from what I see, not typical home use. I guess that's why my work have held out on the update though.Sounds a bit like the firewall/network issues around secure connections; if you have them, try disabling the built-in firewall and/or disabling or completely removing network filters and VPN connections.
Apple has 'mullered' the network stack in Sequoia and it's causing enough issues that the media is starting to pick it up - https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/23/security_in_brief/, https://hackread.com/apples-macos-sequoia-update-breaks-security-tools/, https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...breaks-networking-for-vpn-antivirus-software/.
No doubt someone will be along soon to say "i haven't got any issues" or that it's absolutely fine

It's a bit more widespread than that given the bug(s) in the stack affect it's own firewall as well as other related networking apps like VPN software.
Apple's QA of releases has been pee poor for a while but i think a lot of this stems from Apple's current, imo, daft mindset of having to have a yearly major release which seems to be resulting in their developers rushing and failing, two years in a row i believe, to add headline features in with the initial release whilst letting reasonably sized bugs through.Always wait for the 3rd version before being a beta tester, lol
macOS Sequoia is breaking third-party security software
PLUS: Payer of $75M ransom reportedly identified; Craigslist founder becomes security philanthropist, and more
"This was reported to Apple before [Sequoia] released (by multiple people, to multiple teams/orgs within Apple) so Apple 100% knew about this, and shipped macOS 15 anyways," Wardle posted.
I've been saying for years that they should do this.
15.0.1 has now been released and specifically mentions in the release notes "Improves compatibility with third-party security software"...if anyone here was experiencing anything like this, has this fixed it for you?
'Nuke and pave'; MacOS (like other OS's) leaves a lot of rubbish around, especially when you remove an app, so it's worth doing once in a while. Although whether you'll notice the difference other than (the marginal) storage increase...
Fair.
Very minimal stuff, generally. Preference files, that’s about it. It’s not like a bloated windows registry where stuff hanging around impacts system performance.
This.
It really depends on the app as something like MAMP or MS Office litters MacOS with crud and you'll find caches, logs, sandbox and various app support data even after you've remove it. Using a utility like App Cleaner massively helps things but it isn't perfect 100% unfortunately.
