I have a Mac Mini M4 Pro on the latest OS version. My new Apple Studio Display has a problem with audio repeating with a noticeable audio delay, when listening live, and using the built in mics.

So in Logic I created an audio track. When I record live, there is a very noticeable and annoying audio delay of a fraction of a second when recording live and playing thru headphones. When I play back the logic track, there is no delay. It's only when I'm listening and/or record live that it's audible. Happen in Garage Band too.

If I use my RME interface with a Shure SM81 there's no such delay listening live. Nor is there one if I use a Blue Yeti mic. it only occurs when I'm using the mics on the Studio display, so the Display is obviously the issue.

I called Apple Support and got a Logic specialist who went through all sorts of setting changes with no luck.

Maybe it's just this unit, but I've read people have a similar audio delay when conferencing on the receiving end using Studio Display.
Has any one else had this issue? And more importantly, found a solution?
 
I don't use a studio display but I would expect it to be (mostly) latency-free. However I'd never use the speakers in it for any audio work anyway. It's always best to use audio interfaces connected to powered monitors or headphones.
 
If you get the latency with headphones as well as with the Display, then that points to something else.

I have the ASD, and not had any problems.
