Initial Reports Suggest macOS Catalina 10.15.2 May Fix 16-Inch MacBook Pro Popping Sound Bug for Some Users

Early reports from 16-inch MacBook Pro owners who have installed the macOS Catalina 10.15.2 update suggest that the new software fixes some of the speaker popping issues that were plaguing these machines.

According to a reddit user, after installing the update, the popping issue is no longer occurring, even after attempts to trigger it in VLC, Safari, Chrome, Netflix, YouTube, Premiere Pro, and Amazon Prime Video, all apps 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners previously complained were affected.


There are similar reports from 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners on the MacRumors forums. MacRumors readers Dextera, donawalt, and Lobwedgephil say their popping problems are entirely solved.

Just installed it over 10.15.1, ran about 6-7 different loud Youtube songs, tried the skip ahead/right arrow, and stopping songs, NADA! FIXED!

Reports from other 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners are more mixed, though. Some users say that the update improves the popping problem, but does not eliminate it entirely.

Some users are hearing lighter and more muted popping sounds in apps like Chrome and Safari, and some report that the popping has stopped for some apps like Spotify, but not for others. From MacRumors reader Ries:

10.15.2, occasional pops still happen for me in all scenarios. Thou a lot less frequent and at lower volume than they used to be.

From MacRumors reader covedrop:

Just installed 10.15.2 and can confirm that although the popping has been significantly reduced (more often it sounds like a minor crackle as I would expect when signal is cut), it is still there. I'm inclined to think that since the issue has been reduced as it has, if you're not hearing it you may just not be hearing the old sound, as it now sounds different. It's about 50% of the max it was previously (the loudest I experienced).

I also had to skip pretty aggressively in YouTube to really get a good pop - better, but certainly not fixed. I also had my volume up quite loud, but not full.

16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners have been complaining of popping sounds since the machine was first released in October. Apple in a memo to Apple Authorized Service Providers confirmed the popping issue last week and said that a fix would be implemented in the near future.

When using Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, QuickTime Player, Music, Movies, or other applications to play audio, users may hear a pop come from the speakers after playback has ended. Apple is investigating the issue. A fix is planned in future software updates. Do not set up service, or replace the user's computer, as this is a software-related issue.

Apple in its note to service providers said that the fix would require updates plural, not a single update, which may explain the mixed reports that we're hearing from 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners. The macOS Catalina 10.15.2 software appears to partially address the problem, but further software updates may be required to stamp it out entirely.

Airtel launched India’s first voice over Wi-Fi service. Here’s how to set it up.

India’s largest integrated telecommunications company, Airtel, just announced it’s launching the country’s first voice over Wi-Fi service. The company is calling it Airtel Wi-Fi Calling, and it’s available in Delhi NCR and will gradually roll out across the country.

Voice over Wi-Fi is something we have had in the US for many years now. Sprint began offering the service way back in 2014, and the other major carriers followed soon after.

Wi-Fi calling is so convenient because it allows users to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi even if they don’t have a signal. And unlike services like Skype, FaceTime, or Duo, Wi-Fi calling lets you use your existing phone number without the need to download a separate app.

Airtel Wi-Fi Calling works in this same way, and users can set it up by following these steps:

• Check if your smartphone is compatible with the service at airtel.in/wifi-calling. Some devices include the OnePlus 7T, Xiaomi Pocophone F1, and Samsung Galaxy J6.
• Upgrade your device to its latest version.
• On your device, navigate to your settings to switch on Wi-Fi calling.
• Don’t turn off VoLTE so your device can seamlessly transition between standard and Wi-Fi Calling.

It’s as simple as that. Once you have gone through those steps, you are all set. Your device should now support voice over Wi-Fi.

Airtel is currently working with many leading smartphone manufacturers to implement voice over Wi-Fi. So, if your smartphone isn’t compatible yet, check back periodically to see the company’s updated supported devices list.

Reliance Jio vs Vodafone-Idea vs Airtel: New prepaid plans comparison

All three major carriers in India — Vodafone-Idea, Airtel, and Reliance Jio — have announced price hikes across their prepaid plans. The new tariffs see prepaid prices in India increased by up to 50%. The revised prepaid plans from Jio, Vodafone-Idea, and Airtel came into effect in the first week of December, 2019.

Vodafone-Idea and Airtel have revised prices for unlimited prepaid plans with two days, 28 days, 84 days, and 365 days of validity. There is literally a Rs. 1 difference between prepaid plans from the two competing telcos. However, Airtel is also bundling free subscriptions to Airtel Xstream and Wynk music with its plans. These plans have no FUP on calling, which means subscribers can make unlimited voice calls to all networks without incurring extra charges.

Meanwhile, Reliance Jio has updated its one month, two month, three month, and 12 month prepaid plans. The company has also introduced separate affordable plans with 28, 84, and 365 days validity. Jio calls these All-in-One plans and they are almost 25% cheaper than prepaid plans from Airtel and Vodafone-Idea.
