> the microphone array found in the following Apple Silicon laptops: > MacBook Pro 13" (M1/M2) > MacBook Air 13" (M1/M2) > MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max) > MacBook Pro 16" (M1 Pro/Max, M2 Pro/Max) > MacBook Air 15" (M2)
Does it mean M2/M3 don't have similar array of microphones or rather not tested?
I'm even curious if this is only supported on Linux or MacOS as well - not sure if apple provides dedicated microphone stream for each mic?
It's made just for Asahi Linux. MacOS does some very similar beamforming math behind the scenes, so it just presents you with a single unified mic.
They list M2 devices. M3 is just not supported by Asahi Linux, so not being listed is just orthogonal to if M3 has any mics like this.
MacOS has its own software deep within the system for handling this; it's only exposed as a normal microphone to application software.
