Re: Popping Sound When Playing Sims 4

@ZoTheWitchWait, nvm. I had found out that the new "Game mode" feature makes the noise. If any other mac user comes across this. Turn off The Game Mode! And if it is not that, i will ask for more feedback!

    Interesting, it's not happening on my M1 MBA in game mode. Could you provide full specs of your Mac from About This Mac (not the serial number) for comparison?

    MacBook Air M1 2020
    8GB Memory
    macOS Sonoma 14.0

    Have you tested with headphones plugged in vs built-in speakers? That would be an interesting test too.

    What are your in-game sound options? Do you have everything turned on or some off and some on?

    There have been on and off reports for years from Mac users experiencing this but it's interesting that the new game mode feature was apparently your issue.
