MacOS Sonoma (M1Pro) game mode causes local audio burst

[iseku]

Describe the bug
On my M1Pro MBP (macOS Sonoma 14.3), when Moonlight is started and linked to the server, macos automatically starts game mode, causing local audio to burst, but there is no problem streaming audio remotely, and when manually turning off game mode everything becomes normal .

Client PC details (please complete the following information)

• OS: [macOS Sonoma 14.3]
• Moonlight Version: [v5.0.1]

I was experiencing severe crackling of audio when Moonlight was in borderless window or fullscreen mode and having focus. Didn't happen in window mode or when Moonlight didn't have focus.
Not sure if Game Mode was being triggered before but when I disable it for Moonlight everything works perfectly.

@ademlabs How do you turn game mode off even when in fullscreen I've tried turning it off before starting a session but it just turns back on again

Not sure what you mean. When in fullscreen, I just swiped left or right to go back to the desktop and clicked on the gamepad icon in the menu bar then selected to turn off game mode for moonlight.

This unfortunately eliminated the ability to run the Moonlight window in proper fullscreen (where it get it's own assigned workspace) - This makes alt+tab/cmd+tab very difficult as it overlays your current macOS desktop.

Reverting the info.plist results in a certificate config error as described here #1059
