Same atrocious audio distortion issue here in 'High Performance' mode. MacBook Pro M3 Pro connecting to M1 Mac Mini. Both running Sonoma 14.1.1.

Same here on what is/was a clean Big Sur install. I've lost count now of how many times this has happened. I wake my 2018 Mac Mini from sleep and once again I'm logging in and it's reopened applications and I'm seeing another crash report. I was hoping 11.1 would fix this issue, but nope. I've been on Mac as my primary OS since 2007 and have never seen anything like this w/ any Mac release. I can't remember the last time my Win10 machine hard crashed.
