Apple Seeds First Public Beta of macOS Big Sur 11.3

[mourip]

Well being impatient I decided to take one for the team. I signed up for the Beta program and installed 11.3 beta on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air.

As others do I have been getting sound but only a black screen when using Airplay to mirror my screen to my 2020 Sony Bravia XBR-65900H which works great with my wife's Intel MBA and even from her iMac, both of which are running 11.2.

This is still broken in 11.3 Beta1

Having a slight stutter with browser scrolling has been a problem for many people with the M1. I tested with several different browsers and each one had the problem.

I am not running the beta. I suggest you let Apple know of the problem. Hopefully, the more people that do so, the quicker Apple will fix the problem.

If you get the M1 replaced, you will probably see the same thing with the new M1. I believe it is software related as my Intel Mac mini running Big Sur does the same thing.

I haven't seen any problem in that regard.

For some reason the audio is popping and crackling when fast forwarding on YouTube and when using Logic Pro 😢

so are you using safari then ?

 

[Apple_Robert]

I use Safari all the time unless a page won't load properly, and then I use FF or Brave.

 

[mattmartincouk]

Er, well. The 11.3 Beta has killed sound. Yes, sound.

Do you have ACE installed from Airfoil or similar (i.e Rogue Amoeba apps)? Once I re-installed that, sound started working again for me.

Hope they could fix the wifi issues on Mac mini M1, a lot of people are having such issues when wifi is connected but cannot receive or send any data over the network. Since the Mac mini designed in this way - antenna placement leads to somewhat easily been interfered by USB3.0 and thunderbolt 3, hope software update could address wifi and bluetooth problem. Love the machine but sometime it is just so frustrate when you WFH doing video meeting or download large file from server and suddenly Mac mini say that's all the data that I can handle now then freeze the wifi...

What about the Display issues many of us are having. Apple needs to respond to this as its been a long time and people are very frustrated. Not need to mention the issues with running apps that are from 3 party vendors for schools, corporate offices and Dj's.

You are SO right, Apple needs to address these display issues! I am so frustrated with a monitor that cost more than my Mac Mini M1 and TB3 wake/sleep issues are annoying.

Good news. Today Sony pushed out a firmware update to my 2020 Bravia x900H and now my M1 works with Airplay. I have both video and sound.

I am guessing that Apple worked with them. Hopefully other brands will work soon...

I am on 11.3 Beta2.
