#systemsoundserverd — Public Fediverse posts

@RogueAmoeba Also worth pointing out that, if I wasn’t an experienced Mac troubleshooter who knows about force-quitting #coreaudiod and #systemsoundserverd in #ActivityMonitor, I would have no choice but to reboot my Mac in order to get things working right. That's just wrong. One of the main reasons for the very existence of #macOS is that our devices don't have to be rebooted all the time. Yet either you know all kinds of obscure workarounds or you have no choice but to reboot.

I was initially tempted to blame a bug in one of my third-party @RogueAmoeba audio tools, namely either #SoundSource or #Loopback. But I knew very well it was actually more likely to be macOS itself.

Ended up force-quitting #coreaudiod and #systemsoundserverd in #ActivityMonitor and… sure enough, things were back to normal after that.

Today’s Apple for ya. A picture of software unreliability and untrustworthiness.
