Strange Error in Music App

[Vlad Soare]

Hi,

Whenever I try to play an audio track in the Music app, I get this error:

What's it on about? What "movie"? This isn't a movie, it's an MP3 file.
I'm on macOS 12.6.

Thank you.

My only guess is it's trying to play through your monitor. What's your audio output set to?

It's a Macbook. I have no external monitor.

Actually, I think you're on to something. I was using AirPods at the time. Now that I took them off and I'm back to the internal speakers, it's playing the track just fine.
So, why is it seeing my AirPods as a monitor?
