Audio Distorts Then Completely Stops

Hi I Just bought DDJ SR2 since it came bundled with Serato DJ Pro and I did not want a subscription, which is why I am getting off my Numark and djpro AI. I know the SR2 model is getting old, but the features and size is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the audio stops half way or 2/3 through the track and sounds distorted prior to it stopping. I am using: MacBook Air - Intel i5 1.6GHz 8GB RAM Monterey 12.1 Pioneer DDJ SR2 - latest driver installed Serato DJ Pro 2.5.12 - Buffer 10 Since it's a new setup, just using headphones in front and no monitors attached. Any help appreciated. My first go round with Pioneer/Serato not a good one.
