DAE error -6101 "A CPU overload occured... try raising HW buffer size......

DAE error -6101 "A CPU overload occured... try raising HW buffer size..." On a new Intel-based Mac with only two audio tracks in PTLE.

In some cases having the DAE Playback buffer elevated to level 8 caused this. Changing this back to Level 2 (default) made this system work. This can be accessed in SETUP menu > Playback Engine.
