Apple is investigating a popping sound issue with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro and plans to make a fix available in future software updates, the company has indicated in an internal document obtained by MacRumors.
When using Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, QuickTime Player, Music, Movies, or other applications to play audio, users may hear a pop come from the speakers after playback has ended. Apple is investigating the issue. A fix is planned in future software updates. Do not set up service, or replace the user’s computer, as this is a software-related issue. — Apple memo to Authorized Service Providers
MacDailyNews Take: Great news!
There is an easy fix for this… Go to the midi app and select 48khz instead of 44.1. Apparently the new laptop’s native audio is higher quality than those of the past. This is likely a result of people using migration assistance with preferences from the older machines that are native at the lower rate.

That isn’t a fix. Apple quality control needs to improve to justify the premium prices Apple demands. Period.
And make it snappy…!
@applecynic Or you could just follow zombie’s simple instructions and correct the issue in seconds.
Or…. Apple could not screw up.
It’s not a big deal really, but for all the rooting and bragging and hubris from fans, a little crow is good medicine.
Apple screws up all the time. Apple isn’t perfect but they are better. You get hysterical like a silly child over every little thing. The correct reaction is “not a big deal really” and then follow Zombie’s instructions and fix it in seconds. Apple is also ensuring it won’t happen via a software update.
I don’t see these Apple fans full of hubris that you see. Where are they? A few people on some forums? A handful of bloggers? That’s a tiny, tiny minority so it doesn’t count. Most Apple customers are regular people who just want good products. You are seeing conspiracies where there aren’t any. You are angry at nothing. Congrats?
You certainly care enough to defend “the team”.
Or did you write for my benefit?
I didn’t defend anyone. I stated a simple truth. You are angry at nothing.
