Game has no audio and crashes with Mac Studio Display

When a Mac Studio Display (monitor w/ onboard speakers) is the system audio device, the game launches but no audio plays. In in-game options, if the audio device or directional audio buttons are pressed, the game crashes with exit code 5.

No crash logs were recorded in the game directory.

I confirmed that the game audio works normally and I can switch audio devices when the system audio is changed to something else, however, the game doesn’t recognize the studio display as an audio device in this situation.

I confirmed the game operates as expected in any other previous version (I’ve been playing with this setup for >3 years, and specifically confirmed with 25w42a and the latest release).

Environment
