I also experienced these issues. The sound is distorted to slow drawl garbage after my MacBook has been asleep, and requires a reboot to run properly. Hangs on uninstall, every time. 2019 13″ MacBook Pro.

Same here running bugsur on imac sound unusable must restart, happens every day.

I have the same issue, sometimes the sound will randomly distort slightly too. Instead of restarting I've found that kickstarting the audio process.

Open Terminal and type/copy and paste - 'sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod' - obviously without the quotation marks. You'll need to reopen eqmac again but it saves a restart.

on bigsur I ran that command and then opened eqMac again and it prompted me
to restart mac lol :)

THIS! Finally fixed my distortion issues with eqMac. I had tried restarting, and reinstalling, but nothing would fix the distortion. I was about to give up, but tried this kickstart and I'm all good.

I'm having this issue too, but slightly differently. I get crackling instead of distortion, and it's random - it will only last for a couple of seconds, and it might come back slightly later, or a couple of hours after that. Kickstarting the driver does not solve the problem, as with restarting the computer and app. The uninstall process does not seem to progress

Thanks, this solved the crackling noise on startup of eqmac, but now my volume buttons don't change the volume at all :(

By scrolling sound up and down, volume output doesn't change. Sound turns off at 0

Edit: restart fixed the issue. On BT headphones

Any update on this? When running sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod it prevents me from adjusting the volume at all
