Noisy camera after macOS 15.1 update on MacBook Pro M1 Pro

I have M1 Pro and I am experiencing the same issue with my webcam. is there any workaround or updates coming?

M1 Pro Laptop here... Fixed with OS update... looked like the noise reduction algorithm was accidentally switched off and we got to see juts how bad the cameras are ;)

So, I got in touch with customers service 3 times. No one can fix it. Camera needs to be replaced after a little over one year of use on the M2 Chip Macbook Air after upgrade to 15.1.1. Cost, $621 LOL for a $1000 brand new machine. My last MacBook Air lasted 8 years! After my iPhone 11 heated up and bent the frame, I will probably let my patriotic fervor for Mac die and move over to less expensive versions. I have been a Mac user since 1992!

Well, technically I guess you are correct arpena. But, my issue which is supposedly hardware, happened right after the upgrade to 15.1.1. That is why I have commented on this thread, to let be aware that the upgrade was a disaster for me and to see its impact on others. It could be totally coincidental, but based on what I have read I think there may be a connection. Most importantly my computer is only a bit over a year old and for it to malfunction at this stage of the game is disappointing.

Same issue after updating macOS 15.1.1 on Macbook pro M1 (14)

Also fixed for me upgrading to 15.2

This has been fixed for me on macOS 15.2 update.

@judah245, not sure if your issue is the same as this one. I'm pretty sure the issue we are discussing in this thread is purely a software one. This will, and should, be resolved by a macos update. No need to change cameras nor they decay after some time in any way in general.

While better than it was, I think it's still not what it was in November. But there was notable improvement from 15.1 to 15.2 for me (16" MBP M1 Max). The end product is a little bit worse than it originally was, thanks to the software update 👍🏼

Same problems here:

1) Super noisy camera

2) Problems with audio isolation

Version 15.1.1 (24B91)

update macOS 15.1 on MacBook Pro M1 Pro fixed this problem. now camera works fine. thanks!

The 15.2 update did not fix the problem for me unfortunately. Anyone alse still having this problem after 15.2?

For me actually its fixed partially. It turns on and off all the time.

MacOS Sequoia Version 15.1.1 - noise when camera is turned on Jan2025. Any ETA as to when this will be fixed?
