So I've noticed an odd sound problem after updating to Sonoma that I never noticed prior. For background here is the Signal Chain and setup of my Mac Mini M2:
- MacMini M2 -> Denon AVR (HDMI) -> TCL TV
- Software: Sonoma - eqMac to control volume and do some minor EQ for sound and music.
- Brave Browser - Youtube
Since the update whenever I'm watching youtube video if I get a notification or use iMessage the sound while youtube is playing a video gets heavily distorted momentarily and then returns to normal. At 1st I thought it was only when Notifications happened. But then I noticed it happened while sending message via iMessage too. I don't notice this happening while using Apple Music though. So I'm thinking maybe it's more a Brave Browser or Youtube issue rather than Sound issue itself with MacOS or my mini.
Any ideas?
 
Is it coinciding with notifications or using iMessage. I've noticed this on my mine. I have mine hooked up to AV receiver. I find if I switch system sounds to Mac it doesn't happen.
