I can’t believe they released this RC while one of the worst issues from the betas is still unresolved!

I’m running on a MacBook with an M4 processor.

Every now and then, the audio starts stuttering (dropouts and distortion), especially after pausing a video in Safari, for example.

The only temporary fix I’ve found is going into the command line and typing:

sudo killall coreaudiod

That gets things working properly again. But honestly, it makes no sense to ship the OS in this state, and I think a lot of users are going to be seriously disappointed.

Please feel free to add this issue to the Wiki.

I've been having this problem since forever on my M2 on Sequoia. Not a new bug. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue.
 
Finally installed. There are many graphic glitches, mainly in Safari, but overall it looks very nice.

BTW. when I set custom background for iMessage it's not syncing to iPhone. That is normal, or some glitch on my side?
 
I put Tahoe RC. Compared to Sequia, everything works not so lightning fast. Well, Apple Music is still not satisfying, the song menu has changed, now when I add an album to the library, it sometimes hangs and not responding. Strange, and the internet is slower.
 
I skipped all the dev betas, so this is my first experience other than iOS.... the massive rounded corners look so dumb when apps are taking up the whole screen (but not in fullscreen mode). Lots of pointless wasted space in all four corners of the screen.

EDIT: I have my menu bar hidden, and there are all sorts of rendering issues when moving the mouse up and having it show. They should have done what they used to do and released macOS in October 😀

No issues so far on my M1 MacBook Pro 14". I have been running the Public Beta since it was available. Up to that I ran the Developer Beta with all kinds of issues. Pretty smooth so far.
 
I haven't had many issues on my M1 MBP, no Audio Issues, and I watch a lot of YouTube and the Channels app and do a lot of recording in Logic.

The new (not Launchpad) whatever it's called, App Drawer? Umm.. Alton Brown's rule for multi-tasking tools, from the show Good Eats, is to avoid "unitaskers"—kitchen gadgets that only serve one single purpose. He argues that a kitchen should be filled with tools that can perform multiple functions to save on space, money, and clutter.

Why on Earth is there still Spotlight, but now this new App Drawer? They could have added a new gesture instead of adding a feature that does the same thing Spotlight does, but less so. If I want to open an App quickly, I'd press Command + Space and then enter the App name, enter. Boom. Why the need to remove a nice grid of apps only to replace it with something another app does better???

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The RC does seem quicker on both my M1 MBA and M4 Max Mac Studio.

I haven't had any major issues for stability. Just a few quirks. I think the weirdest issue I'm having is my SMB volume (Synology NAS) randomly unmounts itself. I'm not sure if this is macOS 26 related or IPv6 related (which I just recently implemented). My NAS has a static v6 address and it still has v4 enabled, so I'm not thinking it is v6 related but who knows.
 
I am really considering reverting back to Seqouia. Let me say I do like the design actually of Tahoe. However it just doesn't seem ready to play ball yet.
