Suddenly today, sound will not play out of the external bose speakers attached to my Mac Studio. For all other applications - sound works as normal.
I have followed the troubleshooting guidance and everything appears correct.
In my WOW sound options I have ‘System Default’ and ‘Nosound driver’.
If I connect with bluetooth headphones, I initially also have no sound (if the game is already running), until i go into sound wow options and click the right arrow next to ‘system default’. This doesn’t change it away from system default - but magically the sounds then comes through the headphones. Previously if I connected headphones with the game running it would auto switch and the sound would flow through them as you would expect.
If I keep the headphones connected and quit the game, but then restart it - sound is working immediately through the headphones.
If I connect the headphones to the Mac via bluetooth before i launch the game - then sound works through the headphones.
If however, I turn the headphones off - sound does not then revert to the main speakers as it should.
I simply cannot get the sound to emit through the normal speakers anymore. The speakers are connected via the headphone socket on the Mac Studio (so in Mac Sound Settings - headphones is the output selected.)
So to be clear - headphones are working via Bluetooth (not via the headphone socket).
I notice though that if I set the Mac Studio settings to ‘Mac Studio Speakers’ (i.e. the built in speakers) - still no sound works from WOW, but again all other applications are ok.
As mentioned - been through troubleshooting steps including renaming Cache/Interface/WTF folders - but to no avail.
Help! What’s changed?
