    I have a Mac Studio on the way and have received two Studio Displays. I've connected one to my iMac.

    No sound but speakers detected

    Trying to fix a 2019 MacBook Air for a client. No sound, not even a startup chime. Internal speakers are connected and shown as an output device. My initial suspicion was a conflict with SoundFlower, which didn't appear to be installed but was listed as an output device. Manually removed all...

    iPad Air iPad Air speakers for recording?

    I'm getting a new iPad and leaning towards the Air. As I start my Ph.D., I'll mainly use it to read papers and take notes in PDF. However, I am interested in using a tool such as Notability to take lecture notes and possibly even record them. Are the speakers on the Air sufficiently for this?

    MacBook Pro 14" speakers rattling at some frequencies

    Noticed that while listening to some tracks on spotify that the shell of the MBP will rattle audibly, e.g. with the song "Kissing the Ambience" by Mind Explorer. With most music it seems to be OK, but it seems to struggle at some frequencies. Think it happens more when I have the laptop in my...
