macOS 14 Beta 2 - Bug Fixes, Changes, and more

[Brad7]

Hi. I updated my Macbook Pro M1 2020 on 24th June for the 2nd update. And after the restart I started watching a YouTube video and suddenly audio stopped, I have sound icon volume is lowering/increasing but no actual sound. I tried basic troubleshooting. No sound when turning on the macbook. Headphone jack and BT audio, mic are working. Apple Diagnostics came normal. What could be the reason?

That’s odd. And audio from every source has stopped working?

I have noticed that since installing Sonoma on both my 2021 M1 MacBook Air and 2021 MacBook Pro 14", YouTube videos stutter once in a while. This affects the audio as well. It just freezes for a few miliseconds completely randomly. This has never been an issue on Ventura.

Screentime crashes for me.

Do you have this bug too?
The WiFi list is empty and only when I put the mouse on it does it show the list.

The default Safari browser for b2 freezes up on me more and more, I think the problem may be related to Profiles.

So a question, has anyone tried to compare the stability between it and the Tech Prev version for macOS Sonoma? Does the Tech Prev version seem a bit more robust? I'm installing it now to try for the day, but I'm curious if others...?

Wow, I tested beta (23A5276g) and flickering (external monitor - dell and dark mode) seems fixed. Fingers crossed

Is there no way to turn off safari tab icons?

B2 - Last used page of Finder is empty. Anyone else?

Yep, no lock-ups during browsing while using the Safari Technology Preview. So I recommend it, if you have similar issues

There's a memory leak with the animated wallpapers. Even when not currently playing.

Adobe Lightroom Classic seems borked after today's update (it was working just fine before).

At first, it was impossible to switch between folders to view photos, now any attempt to access the catalog causes an application crash, even after deleting and creating a new catalog, and uninstalling / reinstalling Lightroom.

same issue here, and hope this can be fixed in next beta soon.

Pink glitching and system crashing from beta 1 disappeared but similar issues with sending videos coming through as 8bit and also will have an entire system crash where picture freezes but audio continues, requires full restart. Happens multiple times a day playing video through quicktime or safari
