This becomes apparent when people join calls with others who are using MacBooks and iPads. Why does everyone else sound better? Why is my company-issued Dell/HP laptop equipped with terrible speakers and microphone?
This can be fixed by giving them a headset.
It sounds dumb but one thing that keeps me from dropping my Mac for a Lenovo 100% is the speaker quality. It's nice enough to play music at a moderate level on my desk while I work on my corporate machine.
This could probably be fixed by buying an external speaker but...

- avalys 4y agoThis hasn’t happened since Apple ditched x86 processors.
- astrange 4y agoIt's because of the AMD GPU in this case presumably, if external displays trigger it.
