Apple has now released a Firmware upgrade (version 1.0) for the Cinematic Display 27inch which addresses the sound issue.

Here is how you can install and confirm the firmware upgrade:

• Connect the USB connector on your LED Cinema Display (27-inch) physically to your Mac.

• Run Software Update by opening the Apple () menu and choosing Software Update from the Menu.

• The firmware upgrade will be downloaded (to the utilities folder) and installed automatically.

• Alternatively, you can also download the LED Cinema Display Firmware Update 1.0 manually and then double-click the updater application to start installing the update.

To verify that the LED Cinema Display Firmware Update 1.0 is installed on your LED Cinema Display , double-click on the updater application in the Utilities folder.
