Yeah started return process. Trackpad on this one was bad too.
Very nice. What about the loud popping noises during pause/skipping music?
How about the click or short static sound when you stop the audio in the motion app with the space bar. Is that still happening in macOS Catalina?
I don't have motion app but all those popping and clicking sounds when you are scrubbing video or audio or changing volume are significantly reduced. Was hoping other Catalina testers would chime in too.
Thanks for the information. Appreciate the update. I was going to wait for awhile concerning Catalina since the elimination of all 32-bit programing, (including taking it completely out of the OS) and really don’t want to go through any more headaches...as I have had with audio on my MacBook Pro 2018 for the last year. I can live with for now the minor issues and don’t want to start all over again with a new OS. No choice...
But...your information is encouraging and gives me some hope that “maybe” macOS Catalina may finally resolve the audio issues. For the first time in a long time I look forward to the new MacOS. Personally I am tired of every new OS having to bear with the bugs and issues until v.5 or .6.
Here’s hoping!
Finally brought in my macbook to see about this audio issue since i also had a stuck key (only replaced keycap, not top case).
After running diagnostics, the genius claimed it was caused by a problem with the headphone jack daughter board.
The macbook pro 2018 is just lolz. Should i let these clowns replace the headphone jack?

no issues with audio from the headphones at all. just the same popping from the speakers when the t2 power saver mutes and unmutes the audio subsystem.
genius theory was that there was a short in the headphone jack causing the computer to think headphones were connected. sounds bogus.
i think i will pass. i will wait until more keys fail and have the top case, along with speakers and audio system, replaced.
has anyone else had the headphone jack replaced?
I did notice that it seems to be somewhat improved, too, not 100% fixed, but definitely closer.
I never really noticed that, but things like audio crackle on notification sounds and such seem almost gone now.
yes, notifications had audio crackle when also listening youtube etc
[doublepost=1562493193][/doublepost]when you heard notification audio crackle? i never heard unless i was on youtube and an mail notification etc was coming up
“Audio system” is the T2. The speakers have their own amplifiers though.
On all of mine, I had the popping on speakers/3.5mm/USB/BT. One of them had topcase replacement and there was no change.
Haha, finally caught up on latest Apple news. Seems more laptops got given T2.
Apple should be sued to oblivion for this, but they won’t.
Just wait for the T2 successor and pray they worked a fix into that.

Just because they call it a T2, doesn’t mean that it’s not a different revision of T2...
