According to reports on Apple's own customer forums, a small number of customers are reporting volume fluctuations when playing videos on the latest 2013 MacBook Air.

I have just purchased a new 2013 13" MacBook Air, and the volume seems to fluctuate by itself when I play back any videos. Does anybody know what causes this? Is there a fault with my Mac?

The issue seems to be systemwide, as the problem occurs in man apps such as Safari, Chrome, iTunes, VLC and more. The issue persists when running Maverick as well, but does not affect all videos.

The mid 2013 MacBook Air also had WiFi issues, which Apple released a software fix to remedy.

Apple is reportedly working to get their hands on the issue in order to fix the problem.

After being contacted by an AppleCare rep today, they do not yet have a fix. They are very interested in getting a hold of the affected hardware, and are willing to send a replacement immediately. However, they cannot guarantee it won’t have the same problem.

Are any you experiencing these volume fluctuation issues as well?
