Hmmm …
That seemed to have helped.
I’ve had issues with the clock on my Mac.
Usually? And for the past few years?
I’ve had the clock set to announce the time at regular intervals.
So I called Apple Support.
Twice.
Which didn’t help.
The third time … ?
They suggested an old trick.
Resetting what’s call the PRAM, (perimeter RAM) or NVRAM, non-volatile RAM: a section of RAM that stores long term settings, roughly equivalent to the CMOS part of a PC’s motherboard.
Something I’d forgotten about, as the last time I’d used it was on a twenty-something G4 Powermac: and something I find fiddly, with my hands.
You have to press P, R, ⌘ and ⌥, on startup, so you know.
At any rate?
That seems to have solved the issue.
For now.
