I'm facing an issue where frequently and suddenly, my m1 2020 macbook pro isn't able to able any video anywhere. I can't play a local video file using QuickTime or VLC or any other video player, and I can't play videos online from websites like YouTube and others. I have checked and it's not a network issue. And I have noticed this since I upgraded to MacOS Ventura.
Can anyone please help me fix this? Thanks.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
