On iMac 2017 after installing monterey I dont have any sound in the system (Music, safari etc). Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes i must turn off computer and turn it on again and sound comes back. It is very irritating. Ive tried reinstalling macOS and it didnt help. Propably its some kind of bug in the system. Apple please fix it it
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.1
A restart and Safe Mode restart are 2 different animals.
Please restart the computer in Safe Mode per the directions the How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support link.
Note: If you are using a wireless keyboard please either plug it in using the supplied Lightning cable that shipped with it. If you are using a legacy keyboard or a third-party keyboard that does not have re-charging abilities, please use any USB keyboard. Also note that a Safe Mode restart may require you to hold down the shift key for up to 5 minutes before the computer starts in Safe Mode. You will know it is in Safe Mode when you see “Safe Mode” in the upper right of the display.

This solution wont give me any answer because whether sound is working or not is random. Today when I woke up it was Ok, but after coming home from work and turning on computer there was sound and two restarts helped
Please restart in Safe Mode then please restart normally and test.
Could be a hardware issue. I’d schedule repair https://getsupport.apple.com/
Its not hardware. Sound after powering on always works. Its 100% software problem
