"Couldn't initialize audio, audio is disabled" (macOS)

I'm encountering an error message, "Couldn't initialize audio, audio is disabled" when launching the game. I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.4 on a mid-2011 iMac. I'm not using Steam.
I've found threads about similar issues on Linux, but the solutions don't seem applicable to macOS.
I just got the game a few days ago and have already played it for a couple dozen hours, all in eerie silence. I've tried both the stable and the experimental version, and just updated from 0.15.9 to 0.15.10 with the same result.
It's a great game, but it would be even better with sound!

Here's a fresh log from 0.15.17. I was going to upload it for a bug report about the crash, but it appears that several others have already reported it. The errors regarding audio have changed a little, though.
