Seems to be missing any bass on my macbook air. How can i increase the bass?

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

This headset has a higher ohms, i would recommend getting a headphone amp if you want to run it off a mac.

Take a look at the impedance on these headphones. It's an almost certainty that your macbook air's sound card (I'm not a mac user, but I'm fairly sure the macbook has integrated sound) does not have an amplifier, which is needed to drive these headphones to their full potential. Amps are a dime a dozen. Buy one, plug one end into your macbook, plug your headphones into amp, and your sound should be greatly improved (especially your lack of any bass). Fiio amps are relatively low cost and should do the trick.

Not a Mac use either but I went on youtube and searched for a song that I knew had plenty of bass for a sound check and it works perfectly. If you are wondering what song search for Victory by P. diddy

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

I got much better volume by adjusting the equalizer. Go to a video on utube called boost laptop volume. I tried this with my laptop, and it really worked.

Just presets and then a Xtra Bass button that cranks the bass way up high. Seems to be fine. If more adjustment is needed it can be done on the iPod/iPhone.

The only way to add more bass is to have an mp3 player that has an equalizer that you can adjust the bass settings. my iPod has a good settings

Your setup is different than mine. Mine is primarily used on a Macbook Air, latest OS version, w/Skype for long distance calls and have had no perceptible audio problems. Sorry I could not help completely.

This amplifier plugs "in-line" between any output and your earphones. It should work fine with a MacBook Air.

You might want to try going into System Preferences then click on "Sound" and change the output. I have a MacBook Pro laptop and I can only get the sound out of my computer because it was built before 2010 or 2011. I can't remember the exact year. Sometimes the sound wasn't loud enough so I had to buy a little speaker that plugs into the USB port. UGH!! I hope this helps. Ramona C.

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

Yes! there is a gain control on the ART box and also Volume adjustment in the Sound Saver program (if you are using it). Your Mac also has Gain adjustments in preferences and in MiDi.

Yeah, originally i had some problems with getting the sound but i messed around with the settings on my laptop for sound and it worked. I have the new macbook air.

You have to go to the system options menu and then audio options. There is a bass compensation option that allows you to increase or decrease bass. The owners manual is online at the bose website.

Not sure the excact problem. Are you getting any sound at all? Or just no bass? Not sure what kind of mixer that is either?

Yes, but it is suggested that you go into your MBP settings and activate aptX to optimize the sound

Did you plug in the thin wire in the sub and sound bar? You can also adjust the bass via the controller. If you have done this and it still produces no bass I would suggest returning it

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

Iv found you can get the bass pretty high well low :p and iv had them extremely high volume wile testing tho i leave it in matrix mode due to it sounds clearer and more even wile still getting the surround sound effect.
