Apple Studio Display has "Choppy Audio" from the display speakers

I have a brand new Apple Studio Display connected to a Mac mini with the Thunderbolt cable that came with the display.

It worked great for a couple of weeks.

But then one day, the audio became choppy.

I tried audio from websites and from iTunes. Still choppy audio.

I tried new Thunderbolt cable. Still choppy audio.

I tried playing the audio from the Mac mini speakers. NO Problem.

I tried the display connected to an Intel iMac. Display is OK

I played the audio to my iMac speakers, NO Problem.

I played the audio from the display speakers, Still choppy audio.

I conclude that the choppy audio problem is due to the Studio Display.

Anyone else have this same problem?

I suspect that the problem is the firmware for the A13 Bionic chip inside the apple Studio Display.

How can I fix it?

HELP !!!

Thanks for your reply. I actually did unplug the display from everything, and that did not fix the issue. But based on your response, I left it unplugged for longer (about an hour) and now everything works just fine. Thanks!

Hello, TQT-Xperience

Thanks for speaking up on this issue. I host a lot of Zoom conferences, and a sudden failure of audio would be a disaster. I hope Apple is tracking this issue.

I had exactly this problem — plus the microphone was not working. Unplugging solved it for now. Thank you to those who came before...

It's possible I didn't notice the other monitors "dots". It was definitely unplugged. I pulled both power cords out of the wall outlets for over an hour.
