I'll try the update to see if that helps. I can even still watch videos and listen to audio in the browser in YouTube.just not on sites like Beatport. Even after the problem starts in the browser, I can still listen to audio from Apple Music or Rekordbox (DJ Software). I'm a DJ, so I'm streaming audio on record pool sites like, , etc.Īll other applications work fine for streaming audio. My only guess that a reboot does something to temporarily fix the issue like clearing a temp folder or something? I've always tried completely closing out of Safari and restarting the browser and 100% of the time I have to reboot to fix the issue.

Refreshing the browser doesn't fix the issue.

I can click on links, I can download stuff.I just can't stream audio. Everything else in the browser works fine. After maybe 30 minutes of doing this, it will eventually just not want to play the song. Then I go back to streaming and I'll listen to a few seconds of one song, then skip to the next, then skip to the next, until I come across one I like. It behaves as if the OS wants to cache something in a temp folder somewhere before playing the audio stream and maybe that temp folder has to be cleared? I'm not sure if that is how it works on a Mac, but it's my only guess. On Beatport, I'm searching for music and putting them into playlists which is my workflow. It happens on any site where I stream audio but that is the one I most often use. An example of a site where I stream audio from is I have looked at Activity Monitor to see if other applications might have been using up my memory or causing some kind of conflict but usually my memory looks kind ok.

You can get more info on how to do that in How to update the software on your Mac. You provided that your Mac is currently running 10.15.4, and the most recent version is 10.15.5, so you might want to update that software to see if there is a difference in behaviors afterwards. At any point after this began to occur, have you checked Activity Monitor to see if anything listed there might help to get to the bottom of this? If not, look over How to use Activity Monitor on your Mac to get an understanding of how the app works and what to look for.Īlso, once the music ceases to play, do you notice that any other functionality in the browsers no longer works properly, or does everything work normally except streaming music on these sites? Do you have an example of one of these sites? You mentioned that this happens on multiple sites and with multiple browsers. You need to take Safari outside of the yearly OS -upgrade schedule, and have it improve faster, with smaller incremental changes on shorter schedules on its own. Chrome updates every 6 weeks, Firefox every 4 weeks and Brave every 3 weeks. Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I'd be glad to see what I can do to assist you with the issue you mentioned about your browsers becoming unresponsive after a random amount of time while playing music. Updating Safari once a year with occasional patches mid cycle is not good enough anymore.
