Audio keeps crashing

Whole audio keeps crashing on my Macbook air 2019 after updating to Ventura 13.0. For example if I play music or youtube video then pause it, whole audio turns off and only thing which help is to restart coreaudio process, but then it happend again after pausing another video or music. I have tried almost everything what I found on the internet also restart NVRAM but did not help. I have also noticed that only left in build speaker is workign if the audio is on. Before update everyhing worked just fine... Any ideas what shall I try? Thanks a lot.

"Audio keeps crashing: I have the same problem after update to Ventura. Did anyone found a solution for that? Thanks a lot."

No. I have not had this issue.


Troubleshoot the Mac Audio:


What to Try:

  • Unmute the App:

If an app has its own audio input and output settings, then perform things on the app itself.


  • Remove External Devices:

Verify what your output item is.


  • Disable Bluetooth:

If there are any microphones nearby, then they may be getting in the way via bluetooth.


See if an app is permitted to use your microphone.


Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Sound) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.  (Applies to Anted-Based Macs Only)


  • Boot into Safe Mode:

When you boot into Safe Mode, items load by default, with certain settings and caches set aside. So, hold down the shift key upon boot. See what happens then.


  • Create a New Administrator:

See if creating and logging in as a new administrator does the trick. There may be something misconfigured in your current user - something that is getting in the way. Go to: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Unlock > Click: "+" > Create the new administrator
