I can not get MC to play to my AirPods Pro on my Mac. Either it starts with some crackling and then no sound or I get a popup saying "Something went wrong with playback. Playback could not be started on the output 'Core Audio' using the format '44.1 kHz 2ch"

I have other bluetooth headphones (LG) and MC outputs to them just fine. I can't figure out why I can't listen to my Apple AirPods on my Apple Mac. The AirPods work perfectly on this Mac using any other app, including Apple Music, Safari, etc.

MC 28.0.105 Silicon
Mac Air with OS 12.2

It appears that they don't work at 44.1k.

Use DSP studio to set all other than 48k to 48k.
You might consider setting up a separate zone for them and choosing them directly in MC's audio options for that zone so as to create a DSP studio settings for just them.

That doesn't work either. I have the same problem playing to my Beats Flex bluetooth. Both the Flex and AirPods work perfectly with any app other than MC.

Make sure the Audio Device options aren't set to exclusive mode.

They work perfectly fine for me across multiple machines and architectures and OS versions.
