Upgrade to v/8.8 from v/7.x - Impairs Live Audio Playback

Hi @dbmcclain, I'm sorry that you've encountered this issue - it's certainly not our intent for 1Password to have that kind of impact on your system!

You mentioned "high overhead". Just to confirm my understanding, is this high CPU usage specifically?

If so, we have a fix for this coming down the pipeline. We have already introduced the fix in Beta channel version 8.9.4, and it is present in the latest Nightly version as well. Would you be interested in trying one of those channels to see if it resolves the issue?

If you'd like to give that a try, you can do so by going to 1Password > Preferences > Advanced > Release Channel and set it to either Beta or Nightly. Then exit the app, restart it, and it will make the switch.

If needed, our team is happy to help troubleshoot further for you as well. You can reach us at support@1Password.com, where we can provide customized diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures to get to the bottom of this quickly. 👋

Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to resolving this for you!
