Yikes! It was woofy, boomy, muddy, and very distracting. This morning, I decided to fire up (a local talk station) on my iMac as I was working on my MacBook Pro. Because I am a musician, I find it very difficult to not pay attention to the music. I know that a lot of people like to listen to music while they work, but I am not one of them. Often it is in the form of a random news channel on the TV, or (unfortunately not during the COVID-19 shutdown) a Cubs game lilting just within earshot. When I work from home (WFH), I like a little background noise. But what if you listen to Spotify on your Mac? What about YouTube or streaming music in a web browser? Unfortunately, there is no built-in EQ for Safari, nor is there a way to control the EQ on a system-wide basis. It can help compensate for the small speakers on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro or fine-tune the bass and treble in your headphones to your personal tastes.
For example, depending on how you want to listen through, select an appropriate device such as iMac Speakers, Internal Speakers, your external speakers, Display Audio, or USB speakers.The Apple Music App has an okay (i.e., usable) equalizer with plenty of presets for the average user. Ensure that the correct sound device is selected.You may want to adjust the slider to 50-75% of its full range. On your Mac, go to System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output.If they have a volume control knob or control, ensure that the volume is turned up or properly set. If it is a USB device, ensure that you use the USB port. Ensure that the speaker cable is securely plugged into the “audio out port” on your Mac. If you are experiencing this problem with external speakers, ensure that they are turned on and connected properly.If you are experiencing this problem when using a particular app, ensure that the volume level in the app isn’t low or muted as several apps have their own audio and/or video volume settings.
For example, there may be a setting that needs to be changed. The first step is to check these basic steps. If you are using external speakers, try cleaning them out.If you are using Bluetooth devices (speakers or headphones), ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac.Quit all apps to see if this makes a difference.You can do so by going to System Preferences > Software Update. Update your Mac to the latest version of macOS.You can restart your Mac by going to the Apple menu > Restart.
