Howdy-
Since you said you did a clean install this is a puzzle. Normally when this
happens to me, it¹s because someone has installed a third party sound or
screen capture app. Peek at the settings in the Sound preference pane and
double check that there is nothing unusual installed. The most notorious is
Soundflower.
Other than that, try installing an older version of MC. I¹d try 5.5.1 first,
and if that won¹t work, 5.0.9 or whatever is the last of the 5.0.x series. I
consider it a risky practice going back and forth between versions, but I
have a client that does it fairly often with no issues yet.
