Videos on Apple Music on Mac are blank, audio comes through fine.

Whenever I play a video in Apple Music, it pops up a blank black screen. Audio works fine, but the video never displays.


Mac OS 13.2.1

I signed out and back into Apple Music to no avail.

Ok, I seem to have figured it out. It's some sort of DRM in Apple Music. If I shut down DisplayLink Manager (I use DisplayLink for my second monitor) the video plays fine.


Strangely, it won't play with DisplayLink Manager running, even on the built-in display of the laptop.
