MacBook Pro 15 2016 Touch Bar left speaker blown, Without bootcamp

Hello guys,


My Macbook pro 15 touchbar, left speaker is blown out (the left speaker is too quit compared to the right one).

I found a lot of articles about a blown speaker, but all the articles blaming bootcamp as the cause.

I've never installed bootcamp on my computer, but still got the problem.


Is there an option too fix it, or just return it to apple?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Hi! Unfortunately, I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro 15'' w/Touch Bar (2016-2017).

I've done every single recommendation about to adjust parameters in "Sound app" and "Audio MIDI Config" and none of them was successful. In my case, the right speaker sounds down like "in mono", in contrast with the left speaker, which sounds in stereo and well.


In my opinion, if many users have the same problem, Apple must give a declaration about that and say what is the most right way to solve the problem.


Thanks for the help!

No not at all sarcastic. I’ve found the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Overall I am happy with Macs at least until the last couple years. This MBP has had a multitude of issues and my iPad pros battery lasts all of about two hours. The watch is pretty much worthless and the air pods sound like dookie. I can’t believe that one guy actually had that big of an impact on a company this size. Talking about Steve Jobs.
