    New M1 14" sticky static on body when not plugged in.

    Hey peeps... so I had this problem with my old 15" 2015 MBP, where the body would give a weird sticky feeling if I had my feet down and it was plugged in. I changed to the 3pin extension cable and it seemed to help. Either way, I found out this was a normal thing - they earth through their...

    AirPods Pro 2 unusable at airports

    So I've had my AirPods Pro 2 for about 12 days now and had a couple of flights recently. The audio cut outs are awful at Denver airport when in the gate area (especially Terminal B), I'm talking at least 20 seconds of silence or static intermittently during 60 seconds of audio.

    Headphone static-like 'pop' sound on Mac (sound card turning on/off?)

    Have been using a new MBP 13" 2015 for a few days now, absolute joyride, but there's one minor issue. Whenever a pair of head/earphones is plugged into the audio jack, and before/after a sound is played, a static-like, fuzzy, 'crackle' or 'pop' is heard on the earphones. After reading some...

    Static - USB mic - Audio In - Macbook Pro

    So I bought a coolio microphone but it uses a jack for connectivity... thus if the computer doesn't output enough power, it needs phantom power, or a power source etc. Fortunately it came with a usb connector which pulls power from the USB (like a usb mic) and powers it... unfortunately...
