As a lot as we love our Macs generally they do issues that annoy the heck out of us. That annoyance turns into frustration when Apple does nothing to repair the problem. If you happen to’re lucky, there’s a third-party repair out there.
Take, for instance, a macOS bug that’s been pestering some Mac customers for years. The problem is with audio stability, the place sound is taking part in extra from one facet than the opposite. This downside persists for Twitter/X person Fabian (@ffaebi), who desires Apple to lastly do one thing about it.
Fabian has been capable of deal with the issue on his personal with a third-party app referred to as Stability Lock. The app does what its title implies—it runs within the background and test to ensure the Mac’s audio is balanced between its audio system. If not, it adjusts the audio and locks it in.
Stability Lock, in line with @ffaebi, has been out there since 2015 and was launched to handle this macOS bug as a result of Apple didn’t. So, it’s been a bug for nearly 10 years, if not longer. Tunabelly Software program, the developer of Stability Lock, presents it free of charge (and ad-free) and it’s appropriate with Intel and M-series Macs.
A number of individuals have responded to @ffaebi’s submit saying they’ve additionally had the audio stability downside. The net Apple Assist Neighborhood has a number of posts about the issue, and the prompt fixes fluctuate, together with restarting the Mac, booting into Secure Mode after which restating the Mac, resetting the CoreAudio driver, and disconnecting/reconnecting any exterior audio system or headphones. None of those really useful repairs work, which ends up in the conclusion that it is a bug.
Fortuitously, on this occasion, there’s a software program repair, nevertheless it shouldn’t be this fashion. There’s no method of realizing why Apple hasn’t addressed the issue–possibly it’s as a result of it’s troublesome to copy (I personally have by no means had this downside), however that’s no excuse. Apple has mounted different “uncommon” bugs, so it ought to deal with this one.
