@marcan Thanks for the explanation ! Now we just need to find someone at apple who cares enough to pass this one to whoever is responsible for this bug and have it fixed !

@Sobex You mean in terms of speaker audio quality? It's still much better than the vast majority of the competition, though as @chadmed said a few times, their DSP is too tryhard (this bug aside).

The drivers are decent, their EQ is reasonably good, the equal-loudness processing is a good idea (we're doing that too), and the speaker safety modeling stuff lets them safely crank them pretty loud. Those things alone are already more than most laptops do by far. Whether the rest of Apple's DSP helps or sounds good/bad is debatable, but those basics already make them stand out.

@Sobex @marcan the only way somthing like this would ever get fixed is if bunch of people made big deal out of it in x (twitter) and some how I doubt that will happen.

@Sobex @marcan The first step would be filing a bug report via Feedback Assistant. Has anyone done that?
