I had some audio issues today on a zoom and they helpfully asked for me to sudo to fix the problem

"just to shut the error up" is about right.

Its amazing how many Zoom screenshots have spelling or grammar errors, like this one. For a supposedly US based company, its pretty clear a lot of the UI text isn't written by a native English speaker.

I'm not intedning to demean non-native English speakers or their ability to write code - but this looks pretty bad from a QA standpoint.

edit: elsewhere in the thread its shown most of the software engineering team is in China, which explains this.

Actually, killing coreaudiod can be necessary every once in a while.
