    Problem with sound after Ventura download

    Just downloaded latest Ventura and Safari on two 2023 M1 MacBooks. Now both have crackling coming from internal speakers. Swell. Cannot find any useful info online and Apple chat was useless. Diagnostics were fine. Has anyone had this problem and a fix?

    Right speaker twice broken on MBP 13" Early 2015?!

    Hi, my Macbook Pro 13'' Early 2015 has now for the second time a crackly right speaker. And I am not hearing often music - hardly ever! The second speaker went bad after less than a year. Has anyone seen something similar and can give advice on how to prevent this? Cheers Gerry

    Going back to Apple Store with my Macbook pro 2018

    I am one of the unlucky ones with MacBook pro 15 2018 that has crackling speakers. It happens only occasionally. In fact, it only happened three times within the 3 weeks since I had it. And killing the coreaudiod process fixed it every time. Also I experienced a different but related issue: when...

    Has the sound quality of the 2018 MBP's speakers dropped after the second supplemental update?

    I was told by an ECE expert that the way Apple fixed the speakers crackling in 2018 MBP was just cutting the high frequency part in audio signal, which harmed the sound quality of speakers. And yes, I noticed the music sounded different after the supplemental update 2...... Does anybody feel the...
