M1 Mac Bluetooth audio issues

[Yoko_Pim]

Same issues here.

EVE on MacBook Pro (2020 Intel), running Ventura 13.1
Blueooth headset (Soundcore Libery 2)

Starting up the game causes the audio to go crackly.
Only happens when using the bluetooth headphones.
Effect continues even AFTER quiting the game, unless I restart the computer.

Restarting the Mac audio service (“sudo killall coreaudiod”) sometimes fixes the problem.

I suspect that the Mac EVE client is forcing a change in the audio sample rate.

Launching Mac client forces audio sample rate change without permission

Launching a mac client with a default audio device set to >48khz sample rate forcibly changes the output down to 48khz without user permission which also temporarily interrupts the audio during the switch. This was verified using both my USB Sound Blaster X and using my Internal Macbook pro speakers set to 96khz. If you’re going to change my settings, at least tell me (preferably including why) you did it instead of just doing things arbitrarily.

Reproduction Steps

Connect bluetooth headphones.
Start up EVE Online
Click login on the launcher and fire up the main client
The sound will immediately go crackly.
