So, I'm dealing with this problem about months. My MacBook Pro 2016 after some hours of using it suddenly stops playing any media, I mean: youtube videos, spotify, even mp3 files and videos (those I have downloaded, as well as those in every browser: chrome, safari, firefox). Only way to fix this is to restart mac, but it's not really comfortable when you are working to restart mac every several hours.

Sorry, unfortunately none of this worked. My macbook pro after some hours of using still loses ability to play media.
