Anyone else having a "call failed" issue with FaceTime
I have a 2020 iMac 27in
3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7
64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB
I just updated to Monterey this morning and now for some reason my FaceTime calls will crash giving me a "call failed" error.
This only seems to happen when I'm using my iMacs built in audio, if I connect airpods, use the 3.5mm or an external monitor with speakers and set it as the default audio output everything works fine.
If I try initiate or switch a call to the iMacs speakers the call fails
I've tried all of the following with no success
PRAM and SMC,
safe mode
killed and restarted coreaudiod
killed and restarted FaceTime
sing out and singed in to FaceTime
disabled all firewalls and VPN's
tried a different wifi network
tried over ethernet
uninstalled "wavelike" and "BlackHole2ch"
I've done a Disk Utility scan from recovery mode
reinstalled macOS from recovery mode
tried logging out and in to FaceTime on all device
I've also reported it to apple
I cannot seem to figure out what the issues is, audio works perfectly everywhere else in the entire system
I just noted as I was preparing this that when I navigate to system information I get the following when highlighting my audio hardware information
"There was an error while gathering this information"
