Perhaps a solution (From Focusrite):
If you are experiencing issues with audio on Mac OS X or macOS, it's a good idea to delete your Audio Preferences, as it's possible that they may have become corrupt.
Issues such as glitches, disconnects, dropouts, and generally odd behaviour can often be resolved in this way.
To do this, go to:
Finder > Go (top menu) > Computer > Mac HD > Library > Preferences > Audio and in there please delete the two preference (.plist) files:
• com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
• com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Then, go to:
Finder > Go (top menu) > Hold down the "Option" (or "Alt") key and click on the Library folder that appears > Preferences. In there please delete the file:
• com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist
Note that 'com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist' might not show up on your Mac. If you do not see this file, go to the next step.
After doing all the above, you need to ensure you empty your trash and restart your Mac.
