M1 MacBook Pro losing Volume
While watching a film or YouTube the volume drops very low. The controls are all set at about three quarters. After some time the volume comes back. This does not happen on headphones or AirPods. Any thoughts.

Greetings owlthorp,
We understand that you're experiencing sound issues with your Mac and we'd like to provide you with some guidance:
Be sure your Mac is running the latest software version. This is to ensure that it has all the latest fixes:
"Check your sound settings
First, disconnect any cables from the USB, Thunderbolt, or 3.5mm audio ports on your Mac.
- From the Apple menu , choose System Settings (or System Preferences).
- Click Sound.
- Click the Output tab, then select the built-in speakers. If you don’t see built-in speakers as an option in the Output window, contact Apple Support.
- If the Output volume slider is set low, move the slider to the right and test again."
