    Decent speakers

    Reading lots of good on the speakers in the iMac and the ASD. Read that the ASD would have inferior speakers than the iMac. Can someone acknowledge this? Can anyone suggest decent fashionlike speakers that sound good but don’t break the bank? Minimum quality those included in the ASD. Thanks.

    iPhone 15 Pro Can iPhone 15 Pro speakers be damaged by volume

    Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to damage these speakers by playing a sound too loud. Or if these speakers are limited so that damage wouldnt occur from such instances. For example when listening to spotify on the computer - sometimes it will jump my phone volume to full volume (or...

    Problem with sound after Ventura download

    Just downloaded latest Ventura and Safari on two 2023 M1 MacBooks. Now both have crackling coming from internal speakers. Swell. Cannot find any useful info online and Apple chat was useless. Diagnostics were fine. Has anyone had this problem and a fix?

    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.

    What is the hole on the left side of the lightning port on AirPods Pro 2 charging case?

    I can't find anything on this mysterious hole on the bottom of the new charging case. It's certainly not a speaker, as far as I know Apple does not present this hole as something making sound on the promo shots & website (why would there be another speaker on the left with a single hole?) but...

    Blown Speaker on 2017 MacBook Pro 15-inch

    Hi everyone, I have had my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) blow one of its speakers, and temporarily damage another on two separate occasions. It seems semi-reproducable: plug in genuine wired Apple EarPods into the headphone jack on the laptop, play some music in Apple Music, then unplug the...

    Can anyone help with this really stupid query? When I'm working, I always answer my iPhone through my MacMini using Facetime and I make calls that way as well. But suddenly, I can't hear the caller on the other end of the line. There is no problem with the speakers because they are working...

    Home Small battery-powered Bluetooth speaker recommendations?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a small, portable Bluetooth speaker? Battery-powered is a must. Charged by USB-C is a bonus. Probably in the $30-$50 range. To be used around the house and perhaps outside gardening, to listen to tunes. Not an audiophile, but don’t want tin can sound...

    Sound issues with used iPhone X

    I just bought a used iPhone X from Gazelle, "acceptable" condition. I am moving from a 6s Plus which I have owned for 6 years. I feel like something is off about the audio, but I haven't been keeping track of comparisons between each successive model release, and I can't rule out that I'm just...

    I've had my new 2020 27" i7 iMac for about 4 days now, and I use external speakers connected to the headphone jack. Every time I restart or wake from sleep, the sound comes from the internal speakers rather than the external speakers. Of course, if I disconnect and reconnect the external...
