This week it is Soundshine Doctor, a free Mac app that works out why your sound is wrong and fixes what it safely can.</p> <p><img src="https://www.aaronhampton.com/images/soundshine-doctor-screenshot.webp" alt="Soundshine Doctor showing a Mac’s sound check with nine checks passing and a Quick Fix button."></p> <h2 id="what-it-does">What it does</h2> <p>Open it and you get one screen with nine checks: where your sound is going, the volume and mute state, Bluetooth quality, the microphone, the left and right balance, where alerts are playing, and whether macOS has been reporting stutters. Each one says what it found in a sentence.</p>
