I can’t believe they released this RC while one of the worst issues from the betas is still unresolved!

I’m running on a MacBook with an M4 processor.

Every now and then, the audio starts stuttering (dropouts and distortion), especially after pausing a video in Safari, for example.

The only temporary fix I’ve found is going into the command line and typing:

sudo killall coreaudiod

That gets things working properly again. But honestly, it makes no sense to ship the OS in this state, and I think a lot of users are going to be seriously disappointed.

Please feel free to add this issue to the Wiki.

I've been having this problem since forever on my M2 on Sequoia. Not a new bug. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue.
 
I never experienced an audio issue like that on my former MacBook Pro M1 Pro or current MacBook Pro M4 and M4 Pro.
