I primarily listen to classic and alternative rock, and I don’t have great ears, so it doesn’t need to be the absolute best quality. So I’d like to know what external speakers you use for listening to music on your Mac, how you like it, and if you would recommend it. If it were closer, that would work, but it would then likely be too close again. I liked being able to control it via Siri, and I liked having the music not quite so close me, but I didn’t like not being able to mute it with a tap (since I couldn’t reach it easily enough). I brought one of ours into my office the other day and put it behind my standing workspace (in front of the old 2014 iMac on the backside of the desk) and it worked well enough. One obvious solution is a HomePod or HomePod mini. I’ll definitely be writing an article about this-it’s an interesting capability that I had never before explored with some unexpected issues and fixes. I’ve actually solved that now using a Multi-Output Device with both sets of speakers created in Audio MIDI Setup, but the jury remains out on whether or not that will be acceptable as a long-term solution. They’re just not centered properly so the music is always coming from off to a side. It turns out that I dislike listening to music through the speakers of either the iMac or the Thunderbolt Display. I may try to open it up and see if there’s an obvious loose connection or something, but I’m fairly weak on actual electronics repair (as opposed to simple parts replacement).
It just happened suddenly, with no changes I can think of. It cuts in and out, the power button works unreliably, and the volume knob often does nothing at all. The Altec Lansing speakers, or at least their controller, seems to have given up the ghost.
