I have same issue here on macOS 27.0.1 (26A434).
MacBook Pro 14" (2021), M1 Pro (MacBookPro18,3)
Displays:
Philips 27E1N2600A via HDMI audio works
Philips 27E1N5900 via USB-C (DP Alt Mode) audio fails
I also tried another USB-C display, and it fails the same way.
Symptom: Playing to the USB-C display hangs for about 10 seconds and then fails. No samples are ever output. Built-in speakers and the HDMI display work normally. 100% reproducible.
Log (matches the original report):
HALS_IOContext_Legacy_Impl::IsTimeRunning_Helper: Device ... is not running.
could not establish a timeline after waiting 10000000 microseconds
stopping with error 1937010544
StartIOThread: the IO thread failed to start, Error: 1937010544
+1 for a fix.
