Strange Audio Issues w/ Ventura [Roon Investigating; Known Apple Issues w/ Ventura System Audio]

13.1 has not resolved this for me. My Schiit DAC is often not recognized by my 2021 16" MBP. Often I’ll look in Audio Midi Settings to see what’s going on and often, but not always, that application will hang and I’ll have to force quit it. This is a recent issue for me and, though I can’t say for sure, seems to correspond with my upgrade to Ventura. The workaround that @connor suggested does typically work for me. Patiently awaiting any news here!
