Suddenly lost output on Mac
-
Strawberry 1.0.22, MacOS 13.6.4 (Ventura).
I've been using Strawberry with all my music mounted via an SMB share for months now. It was working on Tuesday. I left it sitting, paused, on Tuesday night. On Wednesday I was away from home all day. Thursday morning, I came back to my computer and hit play and....no music. I can see the track timer incrementing at the bottom of the window. I get sound for notifications and other things.
As far as I can tell, there haven't been any changes to the system (no OS updates, for instance) in the last couple of days.
Have tried- rebooting my Mac
- making sure the share is mounted and I can access files in it
- killing strawberry and starting it in a terminal window with --verbose
Any suggestions for troubleshooting/fixing this?

Go to settings / Backend / Output and select "Output to a soundcard on macOS".
Select your device below, stop and start playback again and see if that works. -

Thanks. I tried that, didn't work, but it did cause me to wonder if there was something about the track (that I wasn't previously familiar with) that might be causing the problem. I put the output settings back to the wrapper sink, tried to play another track, and...it worked. The track that had me convinced something was wrong just had a significant period of silence at the beginning for some reason.Complete pilot error. Mea maxima culpa.
