MacBook Pro 13-Inch M1

I have Noticed that the Speakers on my M1 MacBook Pro 13 Inch are much quieter then the MacBook Air M1. I must have the Volume all the way up for it to be normal sounding but on my MacBook air I can have it in the middle, and it sounds the same as my MacBook pro at full volume. Is this a Issue?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Only you would know if it is an issue...


I will say yours is the first at report I have read here.


try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
