Lion 7.2 & Maschine - 48Khz = Nothing but Audio Dropouts

Hi...

More of less as the header says. I can't use Maschine at all when run @ 48Khz.
Same goes for all NI Komplete 8 stuff on Lion 7.2

BUT - Only when run @ 48Khz. 44.1 = No Problems.

Every few seconds audio dropouts are occurring. This happens on 4 indecent macs all running in Lion latest. A MacBook Pro included.

I use standard Core Audio and NO additional audio interface.
This is no good !

Been like that since Lion 7.0 and I have avoided the products this far. But I thought I would look for an update today and was quite amazed over the fact that there wasn't any addressing those issues. So I thought it important to report.

If anyone have remedies, please let me know.

Thanks in advance !

Just did a little trouble shooting.

In fact,

when Maschine is just open and NOT playing (set @ 48KhZ) the WHOLE Mac OS X Operating System is NOT really capable of playing sounds without dropouts.

I go to the finder and start playing back samples, OS X will mess up the playing of about every 4th sample. It will sound distorted or not play or cause the Finder to throw the SWOD.

Quitting Maschine - IMMEDIATELY - kills the problems.


I have tried opening Moto WONDERFUL MachFive3 in 48KHZ. No problems at all.
Only the NI Stuff is having those weird artifacts which renders them useless on OS X Lion...

Perhaps I am missing the obvious but I thought NI was Lion compatible.

Mind you this is reproducibly on 4 different Macs but ONLY when run @ 48KHZ


Thanks
