Recently playing any type of embedded video in Safari on my Macbook has a distorted stuttering sound. Big Sur 11.3.1 and Safari 14.1.
Does NOT happen with: Safari on my iMac or Firefox/Chrome/Opera on the same Macbook.
I've tried emptying caches, turning off my (limited) extensions, restarting (duh) and turning off Bongiovi DPS which is my laptop sound booster.
Thanks for any suggestions
