@marcan Is this something only on M2 chips or are earlier models i.E. M1, M1 Pro, etc. also affected?

@Alexeyan Cannot repro on M1 MBA or M1 Max MBP 16". This might be an M2 MBA 13" specific problem (maybe the 15" too, need to ask @chadmed about that one since I don't have it).

@sean_ae @Alexeyan @chadmed Yeah I expect those to use ~identical processing to 16" M1. 15" MBA I'm curious about, it could go either way.

@marcan @Alexeyan @chadmed I should add though, my adhoc measurement setup was terrible (an iphone running spectrogram pro) so ymmv ;)

@sean_ae @Alexeyan @chadmed I mean it is ridiculously obvious to the ear, you really don't need tools for this one :)

@sean_ae @marcan Right? I’m an amateur music producer, and I hear people complain about stuff like this in VSTs all the time, but it’s never anything THIS bad. This is absolutely atrocious.

@Ferrichrome @sean_ae I swear I cannot believe how nobody caught this before me. I guess most people don't have machines to compare side by side and just... assumed it was supposed to sound like that? But what about Apple's entire audio team? WTF?

@marcan @Ferrichrome yeah it’s pretty weird no one’s noticed but apple not testing dsp code for speaker enhancement *by measuring*? Mindboggling
