Don't really know where this thread belongs, but anyway, here goes...
Recently, I've been having a strange sample rate problem that occurs system-wide. The only exceptions are streaming apps (Spotify, YouTube, etc.) and video conferencing apps. This problem happens with system sound effects as well as with any local audio file. Randomly, the file, system sound, etc. will play slower/faster than normal, and I have to go into Audio/MIDI setup and change the sample rate to something else and back again. It's usually set at the default 44.1 kHz. This happens a lot when using my audio interface (which is how I listen to stuff), but it has happened with the internal speakers and the headphone jack in the past, though this is not as common.
Any ideas why this is happening? Could it just be a bug in macOS? This is on an M1 MacBook Air with Sonoma 14.2 (though it's happened in past versions.)
