Mac OS 14.7.6 (23H626) problem sound driver

Recently, my headphones connected via USB began to wheeze terribly.

Conducted diagnostics:


1. These headphones work perfectly on other devices.

2. Equally poorly work through different outputs and dock station

3. The dynamics of the laptop work perfectly.


I noticed the problem with the driver of the sound. Tell me how to fix it?

Go to Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. Select your USB headphones from the list and make sure the sample rate and format are correctly set (try 44.1kHz or 48kHz). Sometimes, mismatched settings cause audio problems.
