Restart your Mac
Choose Restart from the Apple menu .
Update Logic Pro
Choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates in the toolbar. If a Logic Pro update is available, click the Update button to download and install it.
Check device or software compatibility
If you're using an external audio interface, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in not made by Apple, make sure that it’s compatible with the latest version of Logic Pro. Contact the manufacturer for support. If an update is available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to update the device or software.
Use built-in audio with Logic Pro
If you’re using an external audio interface, try using the built-in audio on your Mac instead of the interface.
If the project opens and plays back properly, you might need to update or service your audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support.
If you aren’t using an external audio interface, try bypassing third-party Audio Units plug-ins.
Open Logic Pro without audio input and output
If Logic Pro opens, you might need to update or service your external audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support. It can also mean a third-party Audio Units plug-in might be damaged, or it might not be compatible with your version of Logic Pro. You can try bypassing plug-ins to troubleshoot your issue.
Bypass third-party Audio Units plug-ins
If you’re using Audio Units plug-ins, try bypassing or removing them.
Test with a new project
You can create a new project and test to check if the issue is with your project or Logic Pro app.
Test Logic Pro with a new user account
Create another user account on your Mac, then try to recreate the issue in the new user account. If the issue doesn't occur in the new user account, settings or files in the original account might be causing the issue.
Reset Logic Pro preferences
Resetting preferences doesn’t affect your project files, presets, or patches. However, you do lose any custom preference settings that you might have made.
After resetting preferences, open your project and try to reproduce the issue that you were experiencing. If the issue no longer occurs, open Logic Pro preferences and reapply your custom preference settings.
Delete Logic Pro preferences
After deleting preferences, open your project and try to reproduce the issue that you were experiencing. If the issue no longer occurs, choose Logic Pro > Preferences, reapply your custom settings, and import your custom key commands.
Reinstall Logic Pro
Delete Logic Pro, then redownload and reinstall it. Libraries won't be affected
If you're restoring Logic Pro from a backup, you can either drag it from its storage location to your Applications folder, or you can restore it from a Time Machine backup.
Hope this helps and solves your query,

This is generally a sign that Core Audio is not enabled:
Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Devices Tab
Make sure that Core Audio is checked, and make sure you have the correct iInput and Output devices selected. Then Click 'Apply"

Hi there,
My name is Eddie G. I will be happy to help. Can you please take a screenshot so I can take a closer look?
Also, can you hear anything when you PREVIEW LOOPS in the loop browser?
Going to give you more info on another thread.
Hope this helps and solves your query,

Eddy, I've only once (in over 12 years on this and other forums) seen that reïnstalling solved an issue, and that was because the person had been inside the program and fooled around in it. I would advice you to drop that as a troubleshooting step. No idea why Apple still lists that as a step. It only works if it is an Appcleaner assisted reinstall, and that is because Appcleaner will also delete the preferences.
Thanks it worked
