Suddenly my sound from the web (Chrome) is poor quality, out of sync, and the volume control on my Mac does not work. The control on my Ooontz does work, but strangely: Sound comes on very loud at first. This all happens with Music too.
Firefox and Safari are the same.

Original Title: Problems with sound
Mac mini, macOS 13.1
Thanks to everyone who answered. Unplugging the monitor seems to have worked. BTW, I find this question and answer format very confusing!
Start by updating to macOS 13.7.8, the current version.
There have been many fixes and refinements made since 13.1 was released over three (!) years ago.
Have you connected to another port on the mini or tried using a different cable?
Also look for audio settings you might address in the monitor setup. You might also shut down and unplug the monitor from power, and then plug it in again - a reboot, if you will.
Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac?
Are you using the Oonzt 3 bluetooth speaker with an iPhone or other device..?
Are you using other external audio devices with the Mac mini s besides the Oontz 3..?
If the answer is yes to either of those questions, then that could explain the out of sync issue.
If you are going back and forth between devices, then that could explain the Loud at first issue.
Not having the same volume control over internal, wired external and bluetooth devices is normal.
You’re welcome.
Glad to know it's sorted.
The Q/A format works best if you change the thread Sort order to Oldest or Newest rather than Rank.
Find that option just below your original post on the right side of the screen.
What monitor are you using and how is it connected?
HP V22v connected with a USB cable
Done. No change.
I have not installed and software of that kind.
I only use the Oontz
How do I fix poor-quality, out-of-sync sound and non-functional volume control on Mac mini with Chrome?
