This has been happening for a while. I assumed it was an issue with the Developer Beta, but now I’m not sure. I also considered a hardware issue, took it to the Genius Bar, but I still have issues.

While watching content, occasionally, I’ll hear a pop sound in my right ear, and the audio for that ear just goes away. It typically corrects itself in about 10 seconds, but it’s annoying. If I’m using AirPods (Pro 3), it doesn’t happen. It’s only when using the device speakers that it happens. And I don’t know if it’s a software thing or a hardware thing.

I took it to the Genius Bar when I decided to eliminate the hardware angle, but all they could suggest was a complete device reset making sure not to restore a backup but to set it up as a new device. I did that. It still does it. I’m still on the Developer Beta (currently 26.5 B2).

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening?

I haven't seen any posts about this, and truthfully, I only noticed that it existed last night, and by the time I tried to use it, it was too late. Tabletop Mode is now 3D mode, and when you choose the World icon, I think it makes the 3D environment full size. Also, it lets you choose any spot on the floor to view from. I think I can put myself in the paint under a basket to watch the animated players. Today is another day. I'll be looking tonight, but I also suggest others give it a try.
