New Build of Studio Display 15.5 Addresses Audio Issue

08 AUGUST 2022 - The audio problem with Apple’s Studio Display has been fixed. I told you last week of problems experienced by some display users, including the sound simply stopping, playing faster than it should, getting distorted, and/or playing back in a choppy way. When Apple’s solution was - basically - turn it off and turn it on again, the hope was that the issue was software related. Now, a piece from iDownloadBlog says not only was it a software issue, Apple has shipped a software fix. Support documentation for the Studio Display 15.5 firmware update says it resolves “an audio issue” with the display.

Updating might be a tiny bit confusing, since folks will be going from Studio Display Firmware Update 15.5 to Studio Display Firmware Update 15.5. The one the borks the sound is 19F77. The one that fixes it is 19F80. “To check whether a fix is available for your Studio Display,” iDownloadBlog says, “navigate to System Preferences → Software Update, then check for updates manually.”
