MacBook Pro M1 Max stuttering sound HDMI

There was already a thread about this topic and several hundred people reported the same.

When connecting MBP over HDMI (direct or via usb-c adapter, all the same) to a monitor or TV the sound comes out distorted and stuttering. It’s makes no difference what cable or display used. It happens in all applications, no matter if native apple or third party.

this issue is a huge problem since Monterey came out and has not been resolved since then.

come on apple? When will you do something about this problem?

theres is no way to show or present any videos of any kind. Not at home, not to customers, not even embedded videos in PowerPoint or Keynote work!! This is supposed to be a PRO Laptop, nothing PRO about this, especially since this worked in BigSur and is therefore solely a software problem!


fix that please, so I don’t need to take my windows laptop to presentations anymore!

Hello mariusz75,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you are experiencing distorted sound when your macBook Pro is connected to an external monitor. We are happy to help.


We’d like to have you complete some isolating troubleshooting steps. We’d like to have you test in safe mode and a new user account.


Here’s how to test in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

"Apple silicon

  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
  3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
  4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again."


Here’s how to set up a new user account to test: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

"Add account

Create a new user or group.

Click the New Account pop-up menu (you may be asked to enter your password), then choose a type of account.

  • Administrator: An administrator can add and manage other users, install apps, and change settings. The new user you create when you first set up your Mac is an administrator. Your Mac can have multiple administrators. You can create new ones, and convert standard users to administrators. Don’t set up automatic login for an administrator. If you do, someone could simply restart your Mac and gain access with administrator privileges. To keep your Mac secure, don’t share administrator names and passwords.
  • Standard: Standard users are set up by an administrator. Standard users can install apps and change their own settings, but can’t add other users or change other users’ settings.
  • Sharing Only: Sharing-only users can access shared files remotely, but can’t log in to the computer or change settings. To give the user permission to access your shared files or screen, you may need to change options in File Sharing, Screen Sharing, or Remote Management settings. See Set up file sharing and Share the screen of another Mac.
  • Group: Groups allow multiple users to have the same access privileges. You control a group’s access to your shared folders by setting access permissions in the File Sharing options in Sharing settings.

See Add a user or group."


Let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
