    HomePod HomePod as home theater?

    I currently have a rather nice Pioneer receiver with a 5.1 speaker system. I do enjoy the great sound quality but I have been thinking of taking it a notch down to save some space in the living room. I’ve been considering getting 2 HomePods to replace all of it. Does anyone here use HomePod for...

    Macbook Pro 15" 2018 audio randomly turning off for some apps

    Got the laptop a few days ago. I noticed after watching Youtube or DIRECTVNOW on either Chrome or Safari, the audio stops working. I can press the audio increase button and it'll still make a noise. I can still hear tweets from Tweetbot. I tried close the tab and trying a new tab, but for some...

    iPhone 7/Plus Headphones plugged in but speakers are still playing sound / Mic not working

    Earlier today I was using my iPhone 7 and listening to music with my Apple headphones without any problems. Nothing happened and as I plugged in the headphones in the lightning jack again, no sound was coming out of the headphones anymore. Although speakers on the iPhone were working. I turned...

    Mac Pro 4,1->5,1 Video Card Audio

    I was wondering if somebody who has experience upgrading old Mac Pros could tell me if I put in a GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti (flashed) if I will be able to use the display port audio output. As it is, I am not able to select my monitor for audio output, connected via mini display port to HDMI. From...

    Boom 3D makes everything sounds better

    I have used all the versions from Boom , Boom 2 and now the 3D version . It still amazes me how much better music sounds on your AirPods or your MacBook Pro speakers, I have heard lots of people say it will blow out your speakers , but I don't think its possible on the 2016/2017 Macbooks...

    Replacing MBP late 2016 15" speaker

    Opening up my late MBP I messed up the membrane of my left speaker, an authorized Apple repair center quoted me 650 euros to replace the entire top case (the speakers are glued to the body of the MBP). I managed to find a set of speakers for 70 euros harvested from a dead machine, so it is...

    No sound on High Sierra 10.13.04

    Hello, you may have already encountered this bug, but since the original High Sierra update sometimes (every 3 or 4 times) after I power up my 2017 iMac, there is no sound (YouTube, VLC, Spotify, etc) at all for about ten minutes. I recently found out that if I quit coreaudiod in Activity...

    Target Display Mode: keep sound on first iMac

    I have two 27" iMacs side by side: a 5k 2017 model (call it 'Main') as the main display, with a 27" 2011 non-retina model ('Remote') next to it. They're connected in a completely standard way as the Apple site tells you to do it. Everything works fine and in addition I can switch the Remote...

    Hi guys, Yesterday I turned on my iMac and it played the start chime, but then I noticed it had stopped playing any other sound from any program. It had been plugged into my TV via a Thunderbolt Cable the night before (this was still plugged in when I started it up) so I closed all programs...

    HomePod Can confirm US Homepod works in Canada!

    Picked up the homepod in Buffalo today... I live near Toronto. Setup was easy, works with my Canadian apple ID. It sounds great at lower volumes but the bass doesn't keep up with the highs at higher volumes. Kind of a bummer. Really nice deep bass at under 3/4 volume though. [Total rant] I...

    Mute sound in Safari intermittent

    I am using the latest version of High Sierra (10.13.3) on a mid 2011 27" iMac. I find that the "mute" action for tabs on the Safari browser sometimes doesn't work. When it is boring, I can hover my mouse over a tab that has sound and see a little speaker that I can click to mute/unmute the...

    Internal Speakers not listed as Output Device?

    How are you guys doing? I have 2017 5k iMac and I switch between headphones and the internal speakers a lot but I always did this plugging in or unplugging the headphones. Then I remembered you can simply switch the output device in the System Preferences for Sound. Unfortunately when I have...

    Mac Mini Sound Almost Dead

    My Mac Mini's sound didn't exactly die, but it's as if it's on extremely low volume. I have to really, really strain to hear. Facetime is worse though. I can't hear a danged thing. Nor can the person on the other end of the line. (This might or might not be the same problem.) I went into...

    Hello! I got a MacBook Pro (15", 2017 model) which is only a couple of months old. Today I noticed something about the trackpad, and I want to ask you guys whether this is a normal thing - because to me it sure does not sound normal. Problem: only when I tap the trackpad a bit harder than...
