I recently picked up a 16" MBP Max and it's amazing. But I have one concern with the speakers. Everyone is raving about how great they are, but my speakers have a weird behavior. I'm NOT getting any of the pops and crackles that I've seen on here, so I'm grateful for that, but.... at this price point we should not be excited for not getting a defective machine.
I don't think my subs are working at all. The mids and treble are overpowering the bass and the mix is terrible. It sounds like the subs are not turned on and the low end is only coming from the mids. I have many high end speakers in my house (Revel), so I'm not expecting something that's physically impossible. The mids and treble sound great, it's just no low end at all. It's like the drivers are missing for the subs. So odd. AirPods and external speakers operate as expected. Application or music source doesn't impact the experience.
Increasing the volume from 60Hz up to 120Hz makes no changes in sound at all. You can hear it very quietly, but it does sound like the mids are driving and not any subs.
I'm on 12.6.1 and as a professional that relies on specific applications I always run about one OS behind and don't have plans to update to Ventura anytime soon. The apple store said they'd send it off to be looked at, but the first step they'd do is update to Ventura, which I obviously don't want.
I have time to return, but don't want to run the risk of getting a popping/crackling one. ugh... anybody have this?
