Macbook Pro speakers clipping?

IceBus · 2 Aug 2011 at 13:27

Can anyone else with a Macbook Pro from 2010/2011 do me a favour?

Play this video and scroll forward to 2:30 (particularly 2:38-2:44) or so and put your speakers on full blast. Does the audio clip for you? I'm getting a lot of clipping/vibration sound on the right speaker of my MBP and my 2008 MB doesn't do the same thing with the same track same volume.

If you guys aren't experiencing the same thing I might need to take it to a Genius Bar.

Thanks guys.

Nope mate, absolutely fine here on my MBP.

EDIT: Have you tried rebooting it at all? On my previous 2010 MBP after playing CorsixTH it messed horribly with my speakers until I restarted.

Gilbert, what year is your MBP? Tried rebooting and no joy. Anybody else able to try this?

Try messing around with the volumes in Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup

Not what you asked for, but I tried my 2010 13" MacBook Air. No clipping.

That doesn't seem to permanently fix it, i.e. when I hit F12 it just puts the volume back up.

Looks like it'll need to be a Genius Bar appointment then. Any idea whether I'll have any problems with getting it fixed when I've got my own larger hard drive in my MBP? If they want to replace it, what would the procedure be?

Should be fine as it is just take the original HD with you just in case.
