Sorry to ask an obvious question but are you using the supplied red cable to connect the Soundblaster to your Mac? I will keep trying to help if you do not get a solution.
Yep, using the included red USB cable. Appreciate the help, but ch385 got it!
This was driving me nuts for about a week. I saw you were having the same problem so I made an account.
Close the sound blaster control panel
1 Stop all audio playback on the e5 and connect it to the mac via usb
2 cmd + space Audio Midi Setup
3 Select the Sound Blaster e5
4 Change 'Clock source' to 'DSP Clock'
5 Close
6 Open the soundblaster control panel app, It should be responsive.
So happy this worked. Like you, I was getting ready to return it and go back to the Fiio E18 due to this! Definitely would not have figured this one out on my own. How did you? Haven't found too many helpful resources online.
