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.
