Same here. After updating, I have NO SOUND coming out of any site. I even open my other browser (and chrome) and they don’t produce any sound at all. Everything was working perfectly fine before I updated Brave (last night). Bear in mind that Brave is my main Browser.
I am on an intel MacPro OS 12.7.4 (Monterey) using a universal audio apollo8 interface.I am guessing there is an issue when users have an external audio interface…
The “audio playback not working” for this issue could also be speakers connected to Out 9 + Out 10, and Chrome using Out 1 + Out 2, as mentioned in comment#22, on top of the exceeded max channel count.
