What Audio Devices are in use when the Computer is started from a Cold Boot.
From what I see in Activity Monitor >> View > View ALL process if this process is Native to Monterey and is related to Audio and Rosetta 2
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
Not experiencing this issue on the two Application Silicon Computers I am using, both on Monterey 12.5.1
