MacBook Pro M1 Max HDMI outputting stuttered sound - solution

I found a fix for this issue, athough the old topic does not allow me to post answers anymore.

The fix is to simply reboot macbook having the HDMI device plugged in

As simple as that. I dont know if there's an official fix for that, but for me and couple of my friends this worked.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

Stuttering Sound When I Plug Macbook Pro M1 (14-inch, 2021) into TV via HDMI When I try to plug my Macbook Pro M1 (14-inch, 2021) into a TV via HDMI the audio that comes through the TV is always stuttered/glitchy. The picture is great though. I've tried multiple HDMI cord and none work. However, they do work with other laptops. I'm currently running Monterey version 12.6. This is pretty frustrating as one of the big pluses of this version of the Macbook is the HDMI port. I also heard about a temporary fix that if you plug in the HDMI cable and have the audio output set to the TV/monitor, then restart your Mac (with the cable still plugged in) and when it reboots the sound should play without stuttering. This however did not work for me.

Restarting often fixes small annoyances.
