The meters rose/fell in time, but nothing could be clicked/dragged for editing. Simply hitting COMMAND-R to reload the page fixed the issue every time. Keeping multiple tabs SEEMS to help - one for the mixer, one for routing grid, one for device page.

I'm using the Brave browser. Does anyone know of.an issue-free browser to use instead (M3Pro MBP, MacOS 14.1)?
During the testing with MOTU they had me go through a variety of browsers and none of them made any difference.

Here to report Safari has become an outright liar in regards to what the AVB shows on my system. Reloading the mixers no longer delivers accurate feedback. Muting/unmuting of tracks hasn’t displayed on/off status reliably in a long time. Level meters have rarely shown anything at all. I’ve done a lot of system reboots lately to get control back, and am coming around to thinking it was Safari all along, though it worked fine at one point.

Latest Firefox - totally responsive. Having troubles, definitely try other browsers.

I've had issues also with having buttons not update. For example pressing a mute button in the AVB mixer and it doesn't work the first time and I have to do it again. It's an issue when you can't trust what you're doing.

I also use Brave... and I use something called Pipper which I like because you can set it so that always floats on top. You just set Pipper's start up page to the URL used to open the AVB mixer. That said... I also have issues with AVB not always updating in Pipper as well.
