Newer updates to Ventura (e.g. 13.x) may potentially change the performance of some products compared to the original macOS 13 release. Although significant changes in this regard throughout the lifecycle of a version of macOS have historically been rare.
Please check that all other software/hardware you use to make music is also compatible before updating and never update your operating system during the middle of a time-critical project. If you're using additional software that came bundled with your Focusrite interface (e.g. Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools) then please check the corresponding manufacturer's website for compatibility information.
Based on past experience we would advise waiting for at least a few months after the release of any new operating system before updating in case there are any issues that need to be fixed.
If you receive an error message stating 'System Extension Blocked' after installing Focusrite software/drivers then please see this article.
If you are not getting signal into audio software but playback seems fine, please see this article.
