Problems with Your Studio Display? Apple Says Turn It Off, Then Back On

03 AUGUST 2022 - If you’re having problems with your Studio Display, it’s apparently not just you. A report from MacRumors says:

Apple has admitted that customers using the Studio Display may experience audio-related issues, including sound unexpectedly and abruptly cutting out, audio playing at a high speed, distorted audio quality, and choppy playback.

Remember how neat it seemed when we found out the machine had an A-Series processor and ran a version of iOS? Yeah…

The piece says Apple Authorized Service Providers are being told to tell people hearing (or not hearing) issues that they:

…should unplug the Studio Display from power, unplug any accessories or devices connected to the display, wait ten seconds, then reconnect the Studio Display to power.

So basically, an elaborate “turn it off and turn it on again.” Seeing the silver lining, MacRumors says the steps make it sound like an issue tied to software, not hardware. The site seems hopeful that a future update will bring an actual fix.
