&lt;p&gt;Since it was new, it&#039;s had a horrible distortion of sound at low volumes. Very noticeable on headphones and with quiet music. I had resigned myself to having a faulty computer and just putting up with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, it&#039;s not faulty. It&#039;s a software setting. I suspect there are millions of frustrated MacBook Pro owners in the world who are putting up with this for no reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fix is to open Audio MIDI Setup (Applications/Utilities) and flip the format to &quot;2ch-32bit&quot; while playing something that causes the distortion. &quot;2ch-16bit&quot; mode is broken.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The improvement should be instantaneous.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am somewhat upset at the number of months I&#039;ve put up with poor quality for no reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
