Audio dropouts in Safari and Logic Pro on my Mac Studio

My audio keeps cutting out every 30 seconds or so on my Mac Studio. It does it for safari and Logic Pro and any audio I play. I have sequoia 15.2 and M1 Chip. What should I do?

To trouble shoot further you can:


—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support


This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 



***if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect the charging cable before booting to Safe Mode. 

This will make it act as a wired keyboard and a successful Safe Boot mode.


unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing


Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS
