I just purchased a new MacBook Pro M5 Pro. I've previously used the MacBook Air (m2). I noticed with the MBP that when the laptop lid is closed, and I'm using external monitors, the audio is a little muffled compared to the MacBook Air. When the laptop is open on the MBP it sounds great. It's not that pronounced, but I can tell the difference between the Pro and the Air. I'm assuming it's just how the laptop is constructed. Because the audio sounds fine when it's open I don't think there's an issue. Anyone else ever notice something like tis?
Got a tip for us?

Are you sure you arent also getting sound out of the MBP at the same time? The MBP's internal speakers will get a bit muffled when you close the lid, but the audio out to external monitors definitely dont get effected.
