    HomePod Who else finally gave up with their HomePod?

    I absolutely love the audio quality of my two OG HomePods. They’ve been connected as a stereo pair since day one, and the sound has been nothing short of phenomenal. But after two years of frustration, I’ve finally given up. They’re up for sale, and in their place, I’ve brought in a pair of...

    Sound System with Bass for Streaming Music?

    I plugged in my over 20-year-old sound system (Panasonic SA-PM27) and was instantly reminded was decent bass sounds like. I’ve been using a HomePod mini for a few years now, which has virtually no bass. Curious if anyone has any recommendations for a good streaming sound system with good bass so...

    How do I listen to music on my own speakers?

    We have a set of stereo speakers, pre-amplifier, and amplifier that produce relatively high-quality sound. We'd like to listen to music that is in iTunes in this set-up. Apple used to make a little white device (a little larger than a charger for an old MBP) that I think was a router and it...

    AirPlay “receiver” for old stereo speakers?

    A year+ ago my yamaha stereo finally pooped the bed (😢). I want to get a surround system going again, but looking for a simpler approach using AirPlay from my AppleTV. Does anyone know of a powered receiver (not meaning stereo) that I can plug my unpowered speakers into? I’m thinking something...

    HomePod HomePod Mini is driving me insane (buggy stereo)

    Hi everyone, In my home office I have two HomePod Minis set up as stereo. I've had them for a year or so and they've worked almost perfectly (only rare occasions of the stereo function not working) until the last 1-2 months. Now my left HomePod will often not respond at all or it'll play music...

    Set up two bluetooth speakers for stereo sound

    I've hooked up two Flip 5 bluetooth speakers to my mac via audio midi / multi-output device and it works great but I'm wondering if I'm missing something when trying to set them to stereo.

    iPhone 12 iPhone 12 Mini Stereo Speakers Sound not centered

    Hi, just tested my new 12 Mini with the build in speakers. There is clearly a greater loudness coming from the earpiece speaker than the bottom speaker. It’s somewhat uncomfortable to listen to because dialogs seam to come from the left. When I hold my right hand behind the bottom speaker it is...

    "Play stereo audio as mono" feature does not work

    Recently I damaged my left speaker, but my right speaker is perfectly fine. My left speaker still works but it's extremely bitcrushed, so I just muted it. The problem with this is that I cannot hear with 2 speakers, so I can't hear audio that utilizes stereo properly. To hear both channels on...

    Using Macbook Pro with only 1 speaker

    I am using a single Rokit 6 monitor speaker for sound from my Macbook Pro. It is connected with a single cable from the RCA jack to the headphone jack on my mac. Do I need to change any settings to make sure the full sound is properly coming from the speaker and not just one side of the stereo...

    Other stereo output to multiple bluetooth speakers

    I would like to be able to pair an iphone to two bluetooth speakers, and play music to create a stereo image through them. The hurdles I expect are these: 1) the iphone must produce a stereo image audio signal, which means that two different channels of audio information are being output. I am...

    HomePod HomePod Stereo Placement for best audio experience

    I have 2 HomePods running as a stereo pair in my bedroom. I had them originally placed on the chest in front of my bed and they are about 45-50 inches apart with my TV in between.

    iPhone X iPhone XS Video Camera Demo

    Got my iPhone XS 512 GB (plus leather case). I picked it up in the shiny new (okay… since Feb 2018) local Apple Store here in Vienna, Austria. The service was excellent. There was quite a crowd, the most intensive event since opening according to a salesman. I was 15 min early to the appointment...

    Hey, all! I've been using Handbrake and AppleTV to enjoy my library for years, and I don't know what I'd do without it--especially now that we can use Plex! I recently came across something that may prompt me to change my encoding settings, though, and was wondering if others here had any...
