Bugs on a product at 1800 €, it’s a stain. Yet that’s what happens to Apple’s Studio Display. Unveiled at the start of 2022, this ultra-high-end monitor promised the best possible experience for working on two screens. 27-inch diagonal, 5K resolution, three microphones, six speakers… The brand has pulled out all the stops to try to convince professionals.
Unplug then plug back in
Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use, several users complained of problems with the sound part. Quite neat on paper, as our lab tests show, the audio output of the screen has some bugs. Whether it be on Twitter or on Apple’s official forums, Internet users share their complicated experiences with the Studio Display. Microphone that cuts off, cross-hatched audio output, too much distortion… Apple’s screen has a lot of teething problems.

Until then, the only way to solve the problem was to unplug and replug the screen and hope that the problem does not reappear too quickly. But a note obtained by MacRumors proves that Apple is well aware of the problem and, good news, has a solution: just unplug the screen, wait 10 seconds, then plug the screen back in and hope that the problem does not reappear too quickly.
An update is coming
These audio problems are actually due to a software bug that has no fix at the moment. However, according to MacRumors, Apple is working on a new version of iOS that will fix the problem. Because yes, the screen runs under the same operating system as the iPhone. We can therefore hope that a new version of the software will automatically eliminate these small problems.
This is not the first problem encountered by Apple’s Studio Display. The quality of the webcam has also left a lot of customers unhappy and recent software updates haven’t really improved the situation. No firm date regarding the deployment of a possible audio patch has been communicated by Apple. In the meantime, if you have problems with your Studio Display, check that it is running on the latest OS available and check for new updates in the coming weeks.
