I know that others have talked a little about feelings that the new MacBook Pro 2018 is not "feeling right". Well, I was in that camp because I was playing an online poker game (play money) and my sound would crash when going from one screen to another screen in the program. The problem only occurred when I was using the 2018 MacBook Pro and not on an older (2015) MacBook or a 2012 MacBook Air. I called Apple Support and I suggested that the 'Hey Siri' function may have something to do with the crashes that were occurring. The support person suggested that I try turning off 'Hey Siri' function to see if the issue resolves. So, I gladly did that as Siri is never much help to me anyway and VOILA! The problem crashes ceased.

With all this said and being that I never use Siri anyway I must say that I am VERY happy with the performance of my MBP 2018 particularly with my main intended use with Pro Tools 2018, a music/video Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Thanks Apple!

I thought I would post this as a comment to inform others and to muster up some comments to see if anyone has input on this issue. Comments?
