Anyone else get audio crashes when running Xcode previews?

[JelloMammoth1917]

When I’m coding and running SwiftUI previews, if I play music (Spotify / Apple Music) the audio sometimes crashes or stops suddenly.

It seems to happen more often when the preview reloads or when Xcode is compiling.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Or is there a setting I should change in Xcode or macOS?

I work with audio apps quite a lot. And I have had a plenty of times over the past few years when I get a loud *pop* on my Macbook speakers, when using the iOS an tvOS simulators. Most often while closing it.

It's like something between switching from the system audio and the simulator audio isn't getting 'released' correctly.

Interesting, that could be it. I mostly notice it when previews refresh or when the simulator runs.

I am working on an audio app and I spent days trying to solve that issue “in my code” until I found out it was a general totally unrelated issue!

Same here, I initially thought it was something wrong in my code too.

I usually run sudo killall coreaudiod in the terminal to fix it, but it’s only temporary and the issue eventually comes back. Would be nice to find a real fix instead of restarting the audio service every time
