MacBook Pro 2009 Review |
06/12/09
My older 15" MBP has two big issues with headphones that drive me nuts:
- With headphones, like with most cheap laptops, I can hear R2D2-like tones in the background when the computer is actively doing something. I hate this, it's so cheap. 10 years ago I had a $20 sound card that was better than this.
- Every time I plug in my headphones, MacOS assumes I want the master volume at 50% - which means if I don't hold shift and turn down the volume, it will blow my eardrums with the next thing it plays. (If I just turn down the volume without shift, I'm treated to very loud "POP POP POP POP POP" as it steps down volume levels.)
- It's less important, but still very annoying that when powering on, even with headphones plugged in, it will play the startup chime through the speakers. I know from the glowing Apple logo that Apple likes to go "HEY EVERYONE! I'M USING A MAC!!!" but it's seriously inconvenient and obnoxious needing to mute the system before shutting it down in case I want to start it in a quiet environment with other people around.
...so does anyone know if any of this has been resolved yet?

Too bad that douche Chris Hardwick took what you said about AT&T and just said it himself that punk. You need to borrow Jesus' iron bar.
