no data in serial monitor using an Arduino on Apple M3 / Sonoma

System
- apple M3 / Sonoma
Using the serial port monitor and an arduino no data is visible to the serial monitor. No problems with uploading code to Arduino and receiving data from Arduino using the serial port (Matlab, python, C, all works). However the serial monitor does not work
Using another MacBook, Intel, with Ventura and the same Visual Code configuration works well.
Also serial monitors from other extensions works. Why does this standard not work ?
Kind regards - jan
@JanMenssen, I'm curious if this is an external issue on our serialport dependency, could you use the command-line package to see if this is an issue with it? https://serialport.io/docs/7.x.x/guide-cli/#serialport-terminal
@gcampbell-msft : Thank you for you comment and your suggestion
I am not happy with installing non-necessary programs on my computer. In my opinion every installed program may be a risk for malfunctioning on other programs (I am a software engineer for more than 30 years). Also the command npm which seems needed to install this serial port monitor is not recognized on my Mac ?
So I you can give me good reasons why you want installing the serial monitor you suggest, I will do install it.
But as I mentioned earlier, serial communication with an Arduino works in a program I wrote in Matlab, it works in a program I wrote In Python and it works in a program I wrote in C. Also with another serial monitor in VS code (serial terminal from awsxxf) no problems.
And strange, on an old MacBook Pro 206 with Ventura no problems arise with VS code and the micosoft serial monitor. ??
Kind regards and again thank you for you suggestion
Sorry, intention was not to close it
I got a permission error installing the serial port program see below. Maybe this is related to the serial port program ??

If I am using the serial monitor I am able to send bytes to the arduino, so it seems only the receiving part is not working
@JanMenssen Thank you for being willing to try that out. I, like you, find it interesting that older version of Mac don't seem to have these issues. The intent of having you download that was to see if the issue is stemming from the serialport dependency.
I haven't found anything that seems like this specific issue, but I wonder if it has something to do with an FDTI driver? serialport/node-serialport#83
Without your specific version of Mac on hand, it's difficult to test this. Thank you for your patience.
