Hello, good afternoon. I'm experiencing problems on 8 MacBooks after updating to version 15.5. The problem is that the microphone saturates after going to sleep or standby. This is solved by restarting the computer, but if it goes to sleep, the problem returns. Has this happened to anyone else and how have you been able to solve it without restoring the machine?
Got a tip for us?

Hi 😊When I try to use the Mac's internal microphone, no one can hear me... they just hear static. I uninstalled teams, reset CoreAudio, and I still have the same problem. It only works with a USB microphone.
I had this issue in 15.5 with distorted audio especially the microphone.
On checking the Audio MIDI prefs app, I found that microphone and speaker sampling frequencies were different. (44k1 and 48k respectively). I set both to 48k and now have clean audio.
Also tried other sampling frequencies (96k, 192k). As long as the input and output are the same no more distorted audio for me.
Prefs saved across restarts and all OK on my M4 MacBook Pro, macOS 15.5
Good luck 👍🏻
