Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: In the episode montage that precedes the opening theme, Rick does his fake sushi delivery man schtick ringing the doorbell. The sound of the doorbell there is a buzzing sound different from the one used later in the actual episode. Which also is a single neat two-tone sound, in contrast with Larry Manetti pressing the button multiple times. (00:00:30 - 00:37:40)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: The first time Magnum goes to the Honolulu hospital, the first sound in the building consists of an announcement; "Janet Clark, please report to Maternity, Janet Clark." The announcement is repeated throughout the scene Magnum is in the doctor's office at night, just as he switches off the lamp on top of the filing cabinet (by the life preserver), Janet Clark is paged in maternity again. (00:12:25 - 00:34:15)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: During the climax with Lena on the boat defending their action, from "They have no right to hunt us like animals" onwards the parts of dialogue with Hanna Landy are dubbed later and with a very inconsistent audio level. (00:45:40)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: When Magnum chases the boat that is taking off, he shouts something to Rick about the coast guard with Tom Selleck's lips not moving. (00:43:15)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: During the close-up of the photo held by Rick, Magnum's voice saying "Her right arm" is dubbed in with a marked difference from the rest of the conversation (added in post - perhaps to specify which arm, or originally the wrong one was mentioned and they corrected the mistake, but the artifact is strikingly noticeable). (00:39:50)
3rd May 2020
Audio problem: The episode opens with a news report, which itself opens with the words; "In Belfast, Northern Ireland, where a bomb blast destroyed an office building last Tuesday, a special task force under the command of Brigadier General Alistair Folkes", etc. The report runs for a minute, then the phone rings and Higgins, off-camera, answers. The audio of the TV fades in and out to leave room to the relevant conversation, but you can still hear that it's going in a loop, repeating the exact sentence it started with and moving on from there word by word. (00:02:00)

Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4
Audio problem: Magnum just took TC to the bad part of town. TC says "Hey, look, don't forget you called me, I didn't call you." with the audio noticeably much lower than the rest of the conversation, and out of synch with Roger E. Mosley's lips. (00:13:00)
1st May 2020
China Doll - S1-E3
Audio problem: Sorting the whole 'protecting the vase' business when it's first brought up, Higgins asks "Is the vase Chinese?" The audio in the scene becomes really spotty, culminating with Magnum saying "Mai Ling" in audio, with Tom Selleck mouthing something else entirely. (00:17:40)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2
Audio problem: Rick sprays the hitman with bullets, and hits the car behind him. The car is not Robin's Ferrari, but regardless of that, the car alarm of the Ferrari stops the moment that black car is hit. (01:25:25)
1st May 2020
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Audio problem: Ensign Healy parts from Magnum saying "See you, Magnum", but his lips barely move, not long enough for all the words. (00:31:05)
27th Apr 2020
Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Audio problem: When Mr. Sato on the phone asks "What is going to happen to my old bird", those last two words appear to be dubbed in and not match the lips. (00:14:25)
26th Apr 2020
Audio problem: When Higgins lists the various things he expects to run into when he enters' Magnum mancave, there's a noticeable difference in the ambience of the audio when it cuts to Magnum as he mentions the "soiled garments."
3rd Apr 2020
Audio problem: The lawyer and Magnum join the others in the room for the reading (rather, play) of the will. One of the prospect heirs says "It's about time then", but their lips are not moving and the muffled and unnatural ambience makes it even further clear that it is dubbed in. (00:08:55)
3rd Apr 2020
Audio problem: Not getting much sympathy from his buddies, Magnum just hands his coffee mug to Higgins and bolts off to go meet Karen. If you look at Roger E. Mosley face when he says "Hey Thomas, Higgins said we don't have t...", the audio is dubbed and does not match his lips' movements. (00:07:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Audio problem: Earl captivates Higgins with the story of his wrestling antics with an old army buddy of his who'd beat him on the ring with his peg leg. Higgins then exclaims something, but John Hillerman's lips move with no sound, only Tom Selleck's voice is heard. (00:17:55)
24th Mar 2020
Audio problem: Magnum slips into the car in 1936 with his client out of the club. If you pay attention to the audio, there is sometimes a droning noise as if someone were using a leaf blower nearby (it's actually because in editing they cut out all sounds below a certain level - but some of it spiked enough to stay into the audible range). (00:11:20)
24th Mar 2020
Audio problem: Higgins watches Magnum spit what he chewed on and gives him a "Magnum..." full of contempt. Magnum responds ever cheerful "Sorry, want a bite?" but the audio of the sentence is much lower than in the rest of the scene. (00:13:10)
21st Mar 2020
The Eighth Part of the Village - S3-E3
Audio problem: When Higgins' mail order bride (well, not really) bows deeply for Magnum and her hat falls off, she says "Thank you, Higgins san", but the actress, overwhelmed by her own abundant mane, is just grinning and her lips don't move. (00:11:15)
21st Mar 2020
Audio problem: Back to the mansion after meeting Simon & Simon in the hotel room, Magnum narrowly misses the villain. Still clueless about it, runs to Higgins and hops over a wall. The ghastly yell he emits during his athletic effort is entirely off-pitch and at a different volume than his speech. They might as well have used a Wilhelm scream here. (00:41:30)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Audio problem: TC is calling Higgins to figure out where he could find Magnum. Higgins is busy with his construction work, but since the phone keeps ringing he has to answer. The second ring has been edited in a split second of delay to John Hillerman's reaction, though, so Higgins 'jumps' too early. (00:32:30)
