📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughStable Audio 3 VAE dtype selection now excludes BF16 on MPS and prefers FP16, followed by FP32. Other devices retain the existing dtype candidates. Unit tests cover MPS selection, CUDA BF16 retention, explicit dtype precedence, and active MPS hardware selection. Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change makes Stable Audio 3 use FP16 instead of BF16 for VAE decoding on MPS, preventing corrupted audio while preserving explicit dtype overrides and other backends. The change is localized and regression-tested; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

On Apple Silicon the SA3 audio VAE decode silently produces broadband noise: working_dtypes lists bf16 first and should_use_bf16() approves it on macOS >= 14, but the decoder cannot run in bf16 on backends whose attention softmax runs in the input dtype (mps and cpu measured). The DyT qk norms emit values around +-30..50, so attention logits land where bf16's 8-bit mantissa quantizes in steps of ~0.25-0.5; the first attention output already diverges ~56% from fp32 and after 6 layers the decoded audio is fully decorrelated (corr -0.01 vs the fp32 decode, 3.3x RMS). fp16 decodes correctly (corr 0.9997), so exclude bf16 from the SA3 VAE's working dtypes on mps and let fp16 be picked. Note that the existing low_precision_attention=False argument in vae_sa3.py does not cover this: it only diverts attention_sage to attention_pytorch, and on mps optimized_attention is already attention_pytorch, so the softmax still runs in the input dtype. Fixed seed A/B on stable_audio_3_small_sfx (seed 12345, lcm/simple, 8 steps, cfg 1.0), decoding the same latent: cpu-fp32 crest 15.49 rms 0.060 corr 1.0000 (reference) mps-bf16 crest 13.07 rms 0.197 corr -0.0099 (old default: noise) mps-fp16 crest 15.69 rms 0.060 corr 0.9997 (new default) Only the mps default changes. CUDA keeps bf16 (its sdpa kernels do the softmax in fp32, and the exclusion is device-gated), cpu already picks fp32, and explicit --bf16-vae/--fp16-vae/--fp32-vae overrides still win. The guard sits on the working_dtypes assignment shared by both SA3 VAE configs, so it covers the 12-layer variant as well; the numbers above were measured on the 6-layer small model.

Reduce the MPS precision comment.
Keep one short comment that states that MPS BF16 decoding causes noise and FP16 is used instead. The detailed measurements and attention analysis are not needed in this hot-path selection block.
As per path instructions, “use sparse comments only where the MPS/bf16 limitation needs clarification.”

In `@comfy/sd.py` around lines 992 - 997, Replace the verbose comment in the MPS
precision-selection block with one brief comment stating that BF16 decoding
produces noise on MPS and FP16 is therefore preferred. Remove the detailed
measurements and attention-analysis explanation.

On Apple Silicon, Stable Audio 3 generations are silently corrupted: the pipeline reports success and writes files of the right length, but the decoded audio is broadband noise. The cause is the VAE decode running in bf16 —
working_dtypesfor the SA3 audio VAE lists bf16 first andshould_use_bf16()approves it for mps on macOS ≥ 14, so bf16 is the default. fp16 and fp32 decodes of the same latent are correct.This PR excludes bf16 from the SA3 audio VAE's working dtypes on mps (fp16 becomes the default there) and adds regression tests.
Reproduction
stable_audio_3_small_sfx.safetensors+t5gemma_b_b_ul2.safetensors, seed 12345, steps 8, cfg 1.0, lcm/simple, 2.0 s, on an Apple Silicon Mac (macOS 26.5.2, torch 2.10.0). Everything below decodes the same sampled latent, so the VAE dtype is the only variable. Repro assets (standalone script, pinned latent, workflow JSON, wav/spectrograms) are attached to this release on my fork and browsable on itsevidence/sa3-vae-bf16branch:corr ≈ 1.0 means the decode produces the same sound as the fp32 reference; corr ≈ 0 means the output is unrelated noise. Note the failure is dtype-driven, not device-driven: cpu-bf16 is equally corrupted.
Audio decoded from the same latent: before_default_bf16.wav · after_default_fp16.wav · reference_cpu_fp32.wav
Root cause
The SA3 decoder (
comfy/ldm/audio/vae_sa3.py) can't run in bf16 on backends whose sdpa computes the softmax in the input dtype:gamma * tanh(alpha*x) + betawith large gamma), so attention logits land in a range where bf16's 8-bit mantissa quantizes in steps of ~0.25–0.5.mappingconv extracts a small signal (|x| ≈ 0.9) from a large residual stream (|x| ≈ 70), amplifying it to ~950% relative error — hence fully decorrelated output.CUDA is believed unaffected because flash/cuDNN sdpa kernels compute the softmax in fp32 internally, which is consistent with no bf16 complaints from CUDA users since #14010. cpu never picks bf16 by default (
vae_dtype()falls through to fp32). mps uses the math sdpa path, so it hits the bf16 softmax — and the same corruption reproduces on cpu when bf16 is forced, confirming the mechanism is dtype math, not an MPS kernel bug. (Related precedent: #14148 disabled sage attention for this model family for quality reasons.)Scope of the change
