On a Mac, go to your "Activity Monitor" and search for "coreaudiod" if it's not at the top. Hit the circle X in the top of the panel to quit the process.

Following these steps fixed the problem for me. While it's not ideal, it's a lot better than disconnecting or restarting every time my MacBook wakes from sleep! Thanks for "fix" everyone!
