big sur 11.3 sound and movie file issues

Hey,

It does sound like a bug...

You can report it to Apple here https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html

Sorry I wasn't of any help.

Hey,

Could you please include more information in your question?

Like the type of video file, type of audio file, audio player, video player, Mac model and/or browser if streaming.

Does it occur if booting in Safe Mode >> Shift << immediately at Startup ?

Update - No device listed under System Prefs>Sound>Output in Safe Mode. Must be a bug.

After updating to Big Sur 11.3, I also experience audio crackling from time to time, and YouTube videos not playing well (on latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)

Update: Restarting the Mac twice solved the issue :)

I also have the same problem, not only on mac,tvos, but also on ios, which was normal before ios 14.5.

Play for a while, there is a noise, there will be a sound out of sync problem.

I’m having audio problems trying to watch movies: is starts playback out of sync then there’s no audio at all but the movie continues to play.

Didn’t work for me either lol.

regarding Your library you could manually drag the files out of the ‘new’ one and back into the 11.2.3 one via finder. Might be a pain in the *** but it should work.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've got over 70,000 files in my library and I don't want to lose play counts, last played etc.

I'm back on with Apple now... let's see what they suggest next...

Yes, same crackling noise with .mp4 movies. M1 Mac mini with OS 11.4

Apple...paleeeeeeeese!
