Screen Mirroring issues with Macbook pro 14 M1 Pro when location service is updating ?

I have big issue when screen mirroring from my Macbook pro 14 M1 Pro 32Go 2021 on 2 different Apple TV 4K 64Go and 32Go.

The video and audio is freezing sometimes : every 5 mins during 10 seconds.

And it appears only when my localization is updated : the icon "localization" in the top menu is appearing !

I have not problem with my Macbook Pro 13 2020 Intel 2020 without location services activated, maybe it is that ?

My 2 macbook pro are with MacOS 12.3.1.

I want to keep location service activated.

Perhaps if you can check which applications are using location services you can have an idea of which may be misbehaving.

Just a wild guess: are you perhaps running Chrome on this machine? This looks like something that its awful "keystone" daemons can do. They are known to hog system resources, even though they nominally only exist to check for "updates"...

You can keep Location Services on, but take care to only allow the applications that have a real reason to use them.

Check in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Location Services.

Ok.

I have not used your command but I have had finally the update available directly in the system update panel : -> 12.4.

So now, I think the location system is not bugging the Screen Mirroring on my macbook pro 14 M1 pro with Apple TV 4K 2021.

Maybe sometimes the sound is not perfect during 1 or 2 sec,

but only once every hour,

and It is not exactly synchronized with each location detections.

I think it is solved for me.

Thanks everyone!

This Terminal command below will download the Full Version of Monterey 12.4 and place a new Application in Applications Folder.

You will need to Launch it like any other application.

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 12.4

Perhaps updating the Monterey 12.3.1 to current version as of May 16, 2022 to version 12.4 will help ?

Thanks for your answers.

About who use location Services, I had a lot of apps.

Check in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Location Services.

I have unselected all except anything related to Find My Mac...

I have tested it. same Issue !!!!!

next test : I let activated Location but unselect all apps and services that use it....

I will checked each service one by one... strange... nobody can try it with a M1 pro macbook pro with apple TV 4K?

I will update to last MacOs version but i am up to date with 12.3.1 ! 12.4 is in beta?

Monterey 12.4 is not available for my macbook pro M1 pro 14 (France).

I have to wait... I don't understand because I can see the news here in french :À propos des correctifs de sécurité de macOS Monterey 12.4 - Assistance Apple (FR)

About my last test, of course no issue when everything is unselected...

So next test : I have selected into Location Services, only for Find my mac into System Services and immediately video and audio was freezing and jerky during 5 secs... it is very reproductible.

With this setting, I am waiting for the next freezing state...

In your situation run the following command in Terminal

softwareupdate -l

followed by this command

softwareupdate --list-full-installers

And what is the output ?
