Listening to Podcasts at higher speed on Mac

When I play podcasts at a higher speed (double) the sound quality drops and sounds echo-y. Any ideas how to help? This only happens when listening on the macOS application and not iPhone.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

MacBook keeps using my iPhone as a mic After the update from Monterey to Ventura, my MacBook keeps connecting to my iPhone at random times automatically using my mic while I'm in the middle of working in Figma or simply watching YouTube videos. Very frustrating because I'll be listening to music or podcasts on my iPhone then my Macbook will connect to it randomly then it instantly disconnects from it then cuts off my podcast or music then I have to manually play it after it happens. How do I turn this random 'connecting to my devices' off?

Apple Podcast Listen Now not syncing since updating to iOS 16 I updated to iOS 16 on my phone and now Apple Podcast Listen Now is not syncing correctly to show all new episodes. It is only syncing 2 of 10 daily shows. I have tried unfollowing and re-following, that didn't help. I have tried changing my settings. That didn't help. I have it set to hid all played episodes, so now I am resorting to going through and opening each show in my library to see if there is a new episode so that I can listen to it. This is a pain in my rear. It works correctly on my laptop, so it is clearly the phone update that is the issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

M1 MacBook Pro audio glitch I cannot locate a relevant thread here, but there are reports all over the internet, including several audio forums and Apple dev. forums regarding audio glitches on M1 hardware. The audio crackling or popping can occur in any application and is frequently (perhaps always?) accompanied by a console message like the following: 3587 HALS_OverloadMessage.cpp:222 HALS_OverloadMessage: Overload due to HAL client proc exceeding io cycle budget The audio defect, and console message occur *almost every time* I use an application with audio. I am running MacOS 12.6 on a MacBookPro18,3. Internet lore on the subject suggests deleting the audio plist files in /Library/Preferences/Audio/. I have not found that to be a reliable fix for the problem. Has anyone discovered a reliable solution to this problem? Please help, Apple. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
