"Audio renderer issue. Please restart your computer"


Macbook Pro 14 inch- (Nov 23) - Sonoma 14.5

I keep getting this message "Audio renderer issue. Please restart your computer" .


I have now restarted the computer 4 times and have also shut it down twice . Same issue persists.

Can anyone help this older mama? Thanks ever so much!

You can try a SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.


Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

I will say the current Sonoma for your macOS is 14.8.9
