Headphone jack works on M1 models (though I discovered today it's a bit flaky on boot).
The speakers technically work on all the laptops, but we need to implement safeties to make sure you don't accidentally blow your speakers, and also add DSP so they sound good. Fir now, we keep the speakers disabled.
BT will take longer though, it's not a huge priority for me so it's behind things like the GPU on the list (unless someone volunteers, of course.
- nyanpasu64 5y agoOn the topic of MacBook speaker DSP, I'm irritated how the MacBook Air speakers seem to add copious amounts of negative crosstalk to stereo to artificially widen the image. Playing a sine wave on the left speaker plays a slightly quieter inverted waveform on the right speaker, creating unnatural imaging that's tiring to listen to, much like "invert surround" SNES music. The worst part is that macOS offers no way to turn it off!
- marcan_42 5y agoChadmed is working on the processing, and he already thinks he can get better results than macOS. The other day he measured the response with a calibration mic so we can compute good correction coefficients.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoI’m curious, why can’t you limit the max speaker volume to something stupidly low in the interim? (Under the logic that a very quiet speaker is better than no speaker.)
