expat Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 I have a 2020 Mac Mini M1 which has been working fine as my desktop rig into external DAC> headphone amp. Suddenly all audio out either USB or even headphone socket is distorted ++. Streaming to Ethernet via Audirvana to ifi zen stream seems fine. Restarted, reset NVRAM, nothing. Doesn’t seem to be one particular USB socket as tried USB A and C. Rest of computer fine. Any advice gratefully received.
Keith_W Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Has the problem gone away or not? Your wording is not clear. If it is still there, try killing processes one by one. It is likely a software issue. Once those have all been ruled out, then get Apple to look at it.
expat Posted February 12, 2024 Author Posted February 12, 2024 Yeah, still there. By killing processes do you means closing other applications or system processes? Thanks
Keith_W Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Start by killing apps that you don't need. Leave system processes alone if you can. 1
Steff Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 Another elimination test is to run the computer audio in recovery mode after reboot. 1
