    iPhone 7 Plus secondary speaker busted?

    Hi everyone, I just got around to setting up an iPhone 7 Plus 32GB earlier today. During my initial testing, I immediately noticed that audio didn't quite sound as good as on my 6s Plus. Popping into the accessibility settings, I was able to shift the balance between the standard (bottom) and...

    iPhone 7 and bluetooth car audio

    For some reason the bluetooth audio cuts out after a track or two and will not come back on until restarting bluetooth all together on my 2015 BMW with iDrive (latest idrive firmware).

    Bluetooth Audio issues in car.

    iPhone 5S on iOS GM 10. Previous Bluetooth audio quality was fine. I am getting terrible quality audio when using Bluetooth in my car. This happens using Siri and while making a call. The audio is low and sounds almost "raspy" - like a cheap mono speaker over AM radio. I had to raise the...

    Audio Quality over Lightning to Analogue 3.5mm Adaptor

    I am wondering if say using the Lightning to Analogue adaptor would provide a better sound out than from the 3.5mm jack in the older iPhones. Do you think that older lighting iDevices could therefore end up with a quality boost by using this, if it has a better DAC? Guess we can't know till...

    iMac Audio Issues after Repair

    I don't know a lot about the internals of iMacs, but I had a question... I took my Late 2012 iMac into Apple Store for repair as I had lines on my monitor (not like the ones you can google, like grid lines/guide lines that you'd see in Illustrator/Photoshop and it turned out I had to have the...

    Simple Applescript help.

    For a few years now I have been developing a bash script that is a calibrated text mode AudioScope. A guy on here, 'kryten2', if he still on here, helped solve auto recording as a capture for OSX 10.7.5. The original function in my script that works fine is here:- #...

    Handbrake Preference for Stereo AAC Audio: 5.1 Mixdown or 2.0 Track?

    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...
