For a long time, my MacBook Air M1 had stopped ringing for one of its speakerswhich made not only be heard weird, when sounding only by one of the sides, but the maximum volume was half, so it was very difficult to watch any video, listen to music, or make a video call.
I tried to review all the settings, but it seemed that everything was correct, and if I added external speakers or airpods, everything seemed to do well, so I deduced that the problem was hardware, and one of them He had spoiledhowever, after performing an action, everything was solved and left surprised.
How to fix Mac speaker
Although he did not do this thinking that the MAC could be fixed, it seems that it worked, and that is to format the equipment to release space and make a simple cleaning. My surprise came when when he listened for the first time a video, he was heard again by both speakers like the first day, something he left out of course, because he had already made several software updates and restored its configuration values, so it deduced that it was not something internal, but of hardware.
It is possible that it was a virus, a conflict with another program or other reason that I do not understand, however, that error that seemed impossible to fix, and that associated with a blow or simply failure of one of the speakers, cables, etc, etc. It was solved only formatting it.
It does not mean that if you have the same problem, it will be fixed in the same way, however, it is a curiosity and personal experience that I leave in case it happens to you. Formatting a Mac is very simple, and it will not take more than half an hour, so doing it from time to time, apart from cleaning and improving computer performance, can solve problems that not even an update does, so it is not about, if you have any, try luck.
In case the error follows, You must go to an Apple Store OA a SATwhich was my next step, especially if the team is still warranty, since once finished, the cost of any repair, however small and simple, will be very expensive, since Apple has a great technical service, but it is not especially cheap, so you may not compensate for doing it.
And you, have you had any similar problems with a Mac model? Have you managed to solve it in some way as it is? Leave us a comment with your experience, however absurd it seems, since it can help other people solve a similar problem. For now I will enjoy my full speaker. It is possible that the reason never knows why he stopped working, and why nothing was able to fix it, since a malware seems strange to me, but I can't think of any other reason, although I do know the solution in case it happens again.
