Hi cameron1500,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with AirPlay and sound that cuts off.

We'd first suggest checking this page: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device.

You could also test the issue inside a new user account. Here's how to make one: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.

Let us know what happens.

Have a fantastic day!
