Also experiencing random audio playback quality degradation/distortion. When it happens it does so for all audio both online and local using various apps (Music, Youtube, preview etc). The only solution for me is a reboot. Am on a new Macbook Pro M1 Monterey 12.1 I honestly did not expect this from a machine which costs £2K and am very disappointed. My old MBP 2009 which I still use is more stable than this new one.
