| Jan 7, 2019 at 21:23 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | @Allan I have two USB interfaces and a Thunderbolt 2 interface, so when I'm really working it's not a huge problem. It's a problem when I just want to sit on the couch and compose and then walk to the kitchen and the bedroom. The new MBP speakers sound much better than the old so it would be nice to be able to use them for working anywhere when having better sound quality isn't important. I just thought I'd check here to see if there was something self service I missed. Getting an AppleCare appointment and getting to the Apple Store can be a pain. IMHO Behringer is not "quality" ;-) | |
| Jan 7, 2019 at 21:19 | comment | added | Allan | I would take it in to AppleCare for the simple reason you paid a premium for that laptop (but that's me...the more I pay for something, the more I will become "that guy" when there's an issue). That said, I've experienced audio issues in one form or another and resolved every one of them with a quality USB DAC. | |
| Jan 7, 2019 at 21:15 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | @Allan That's what I've been thinking. The only thing is I've read that's it's all 2018 MBPs that have the problem and a replacement won't fix it, but maybe that's incorrect. That's why I'm surprised there isn't a software patch or firmware update from Apple for it, but if there is a hardware fix that would explain the absence of a patch. | |
