Haven't played in a couple weeks so can't be 100% certain about exact timeframe but at least I can't recall this ever happening in the past.
Don't recall changing any audio related settings. No other issues with audio in any other apps.
As an expiriment I tried connecting headphones via bluethooth and I can't even see them as an option in settings.
Can't really think of any causes on my side, reinstalling had no effect, haven't done any troubleshooting myself.
The relevant portion of the log seems to be this(?):
1.415 Warning SoundInterfaceSDL.cpp:170: Opening "Default device" audio device failed (backend:default, depth:16, freq:44100)
1.415 Warning SoundInterfaceSDL.cpp:171: CoreAudio error (AudioQueueStart): -66680
1.415 Retrying with default audio device...

Look if patching to 1.1.108+ fixes this
.108 had a fix to an audio problem

1.1.108 and 1.1.109 the issue persists, don't see any changes in log file either.
Reverting to 1.1.87 isn't enough to fix it apparently, 1.0.0 works and I also know I've been playing on 1.1 for months without issues so I'd assume the problem appeared somewhere between those points.

Hello,
From the logs and what you're saying it seems like Factorio is unable to see/access the audio device(s). This is the first time I'm seeing such issue so there might be something specific to your system causing this, but I don't know that that could be.
There's not much I can do on the Factorio side if the driver cannot see/access the audio device.
Can you try using the following
launch option in steam:
--audio-driver allegro
This would change the audio backend and audio driver used by Factorio.
