I have never had an issue with audio on my M1 Mac but after patch 9.2.7 i am unable to get it to work. Did something change with wow?
Of course audio works on other games, youtube, etc…
The sound is not working on my M1 Mac mini either. It works on other apps. The sound on my Windows 11 machine is working.
bump for traction.
I just double checked sound is working for me in 9.2.7 on an M1 MBP. It’s not immediately clear to me why you guys are having issues yet.
Would you be able to paste your /Volumes/Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/WTF/Config.wtf file here?
It might be worth trying run of the mill troubleshooting like trying deleting/renaming the config file, trying with no addons, rebooting the computer, reinstalling the game etc?
I’ll keep trying stuff on my end.
bumping the bump.

Before 9.2.7 sound was never an issue in game. I also tried all the steps Jambrix and Rommax mentioned and nothing changed. My sound in other games, youtube, etc… were all working - it was just wow that did not.
This is the weirdest thing but i just installed mac os 12.5.1 and my WOW sound returned.
I use a Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip. I was on 12.5.0 when the issue was happening. I have my mac connected to a 85inch Sony 4k tv via HDMI and audio coming out of a samsung 11.1.4 channel soundbar.

The macOS 12.5.1 update fixing it is very interesting. What macOS versions are other people with this issue on. If you’re on 12.5.0, does 12.5.1 help? What kind of sound hardware setups are involved? (as in is everyone using HDMI sound output or are other people have issues with things like builtin speakers, 3.5mm headphones, USB headphones etc)
Same setup as Lucen. 12.5.0 Mac Studio Max. Upgrading to 12.5.1 also resolved my problem. I connect via bluetooth to my soundbar.
12.5.1 fixed it for me too. I have speakers plugged into the headphone port of my Mac Mini.
Well, after a restart of the computer I am back to no in game sound. I don’t have time to look at the issue now but will later tonight. It is very strange that it worked right after the patch then quit after the reboot.
Same… it worked after applying 12.5.1 until restart
not a mac user here but in game sound options are disabled or turned down low? see if this works – in the sound settings try the “reset these setting” then test after a reboot of the computer…
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, still no sound.
I went to play D3. No sound there either. I can play movies, YouTube videos and non Blizzard games with sound. What is going on here?
So updating to 12.5.1 fixes the problem until you reboot, then it stops working again. Here is what my sound log says. Any help is appreciated.

I am running macOS 12.5.1 and sound stopped after last week’s (8/16) patch. I got it to work briefly the next day, when I toggled between “No Sound Driver” and “System Default” in sound settings, but then when you pushed another hot fix the next day, sound stopped again. I still don’t have any sound for WoW on my Mac, which makes it essentially unusable to play.
I have tried every permutation of settings you can imagine, including unplugging/plugging headphones, etc. No sound.
Same problem, im on a imac m1 running 12.5.1 the sound will work when game starts then suddenly will stop and wont come back until I exit wow and restart the game. has made the game unplayable, sound quits mid raids 3 or 4 times an hour
if you have bluetooth try and see if the sound in the game plays when you connect a bluetooth device …
<--- disclaimer --->
this may or not workSame thing happened to me. Sound stopped working on M1 Mac mini while running macOS 12.5 then returned after updating to 12.5.1 then stopped again after restarting my computer. Re-installing the game did not fix the issue. Kind of unplayable right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I seem to have found a workaround.
I just posted above that the same thing happened to me with the latest WoW patch. I was running macOS 12.5.0 on a Mac mini M1. After upgrading to 12.5.1, the problem was resolved until I restarted my computer. Then the audio no longer worked again.
Today, I found that by connecting AirPods then selecting “NoSound Driver” under Game Sound Output in the Interface>System>Sound menu, all of the audio output devices were repopulated (computer speakers, monitor speakers, other bluetooth speakers, etc.). I tested all of them and was able to successfully swap between working audio outputs. That is, until I took out my AirPods. At that point, the audio output options disappeared, and I was back to square one with no audio and only “System Default” and “NoSound Driver” options under the Game Sound Output drop down menu.
If you have AirPods, then I hope this workaround will help. If not, I’m not sure what else to try until Blizzard patches this bug.
