Fix: Choppy Audio Playback on Mac by Restarting coreaudiod

On a Mac, while listening to music and performing a high-load task (building in Xcode), the audio started cutting in and out.

Stopping the high-load process did not restore normal playback. In that case, running:

sudo killall coreaudiod

restarts coreaudiod and resolves the issue.
