    Damaged Macbook Pro Headphone Jack

    Hi there, I seem to have damaged the headphone jack on my Early 2015 Macbook Pro. The right side works fine, but the left side only outputs white noise and none of the actual signal at all. I've tried multiple cables and different sources (spotify, youtube etc). It's definitely an issue with...

    Updated Apple TV to tvOS 14.6 on Monday afternoon and now it seems I can’t AirPlay audio from my MacBook Pro (running High Sierra) to it. Tried several times and no audio comes out. Discovered this issue hours later on Monday night. Last time I used this feature successfully was last Friday...

    I've got an older Mac mini (mid 2010 2.4 ghz core 2 duo) that's connected to a LCD monitor via hdmi. No matter what I set the Sound output to (i.e. Mac Mini internal speaker or the monitor), there's no sound. If I disconnect the monitor/hdmi cable, then the Mac Mini plays sound with no...

    iPhone XS not recording sound in video - fine in other apps

    Greetings all, I’m having a very strange problem with my Xs. When recording video through the camera there is little to no sound. So low that if you have headphones and bump them to max output you might just be able to hear muffled noises... BUT if I record a video with Instagram / tiktok /...

    Customer brought me a MacBook Pro A1286 (2011 model I think) that doesn't produce any sound, except for the startup chime. No devices show up in sound preferences, even after doing an upgrade install.

    I can't figure out why my iPhone keeps disconnecting from my car ...

    Lately when I am listening to music on my iPhone 11 Pro through my car stereo (via Bluetooth) and I ask Siri a question, (sometimes) my music will quit playing through via Bluetooth and will start playing on the built in speaker on my iPhone. When I look at my car stereo it says that it is still...

    iPhone XS Max Audio routing

    Is there a way to be able to choose how my audio is routed on a per app basis. For example, I’m a delivery driver so I have four active apps that are all sending audio alerts and updates. Why can’t I choose where this audio is being sent? I would like my delivery apps audio to be routed to my...

    Using iPhone as audio input to macOS via audio midi setup

    I've just found out that I can use my iPhone as an audio source for my Mac. I've enabled my phone through the Audio Midi Setup application, but I can't get it to play over my headphones. The audio is *definitely* coming in, because I can record it through the QuickTime Player. I've also tried...

    iPad iPad 1st gen. Audio issue

    Hi, I recently bought an old iPad 1 for my Apple collection. The seller described to me, that when you power it on, iOS freezes. Well that wasn't really true, the system didn't freeze, it was just very laggy. So laggy in fact, that if you interacted with it right after powering the device on, it...

    My new M1 MacBook Air has audio static when it is connected via USB-C to a monitor with external speakers. If I connect directly to the Macbook headphone jack - no audio problems. Any ideas?

    Hey everyone! I've been a longtime Macrumors reader, but haven't posted much. Figured I'd share a project I did recently (and hope this is in the right sub!). I saw the iPod Hifi a couple years ago in person and became slightly obsessed, both with the design and the sound quality. I went on a...

    I've just received my first MacBook Pro - my first Apple product. I have existing 5.1 speakers, which connect to my Windows desktop computer via three small jacks.

    I have an Audio Research DAC connected to my 2018 Mac Mini via USB 2.0 port. It worked perfectly with Mac OS 10.14. I have just upgraded to Big Sur. Sadly there is no audio output now. The system recognises the DAC as a device for sound output in the System Preferences - Sound window. It is...

    Hi I'm the (generally happy) owner of the Caldigit TS3+ dock connecting my Macbook Pro 15" (2018) to a home office setup. I recently acquired a nice pair of stereo speakers (Ruark MR1 Mk2) that have optical input, that I thought to use. I have found two issues, one major and one minor...
