sound in Mac Ventura 13.2.1 broadcasted to TV instead of output in settings

Hello,

Even though not selected in "system settings"--->"sound", sound is being played on my TV, without having been turned on....and not through my typical audio interface with headphones.

My audio interface/headphones is selected under "system settings"--->"sound".

Not only do I not hear any sound coming from my headphones but my TV was turned on and the sound is coming from my TV.

Again, the TV, Airplay listing is not selected.

The audio codec is.

I rely on sound for my work in Apples Logic Pro.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Mac mini, macOS 13.2

No.

No such operations were initiated with any intention to beam or "mirror" media to the TV.

It was unprecedented.

There was a coincidence that occurred now that I review the sequence of events.

A. Mac mini media (a YouTube video) was still beamed to a TV that was off.

B. My UMC22 Behringer audio interface did not output audio into my headphones.

*Since then I tested my UMC22 audio interface on another laptop and it is normal.

I hear normal audio.

It still doesn't solve the reason why media was beamed to the TV in the adjacent room but my headphones now are operating normally.

As a reminder, I saw the words 'Airplay' with the media projected on the 32inch TCL Roku TV.

I hope this helps future readers.

I'll consider his solved but will return to this thread if left open and the same scenario repeats itself in the future.

Thank you.

FWIW, the current version of Ventura is 13.4. You should update and retest.

No. When you click on the Control Center icon in the Menu Bar. Click on the icon next to the sound slider.

The excerpted snapshot does not have "32in TCL Roku TV" selected.

Ok.

Updated.

Restarted.

Audio still muted on Mac mini by some AirPlay takeover that beams the media to TV.

Even when TV has been turned off.

If you click on the Control Center in the Menu Bar, then click on the AirDrop icon next to the Sound slider, what is selected?

The screen shot I posted is from Monterey. The panel from Ventura is slightly different but is basically the same.

Something else to check. System Settings > Sound. Make sure the TV is not selected in the Output & Input section.

Are you using the TV as the monitor for your Mac mini?
