A few of the users that I have talked to who have encountered this bug regularly use Apple’s professional media apps like Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X. In my case, I’m using an external audio interface, but others have expressed to me that the bug occurs without using an external interface. If fixed, video playback should go back to normal with sound and with standard 1x playback speed.Ī restart will fix the issue as well, but restarts take a lot more time than simply restarting the core audio daemon via Activity Monitor. Afterward, close Activity Monitor, and try to play back a video. Once coreaudiod restarts, it will reappear under the CPU tab. This will kill coreaudiod, but it should restart immediately.
Click the ‘X’ button in the upper left-hand corner, and select Force Quit. To fix this issue, open Activity Monitor and under the CPU tab find the coreaudiod process.
