Hi,


Ever since i've had it my new MacBook Pro 14inch is speakers crackle when playing music from Apple Music or Spotify. It seems fine when playing audio from you tube but I have not extensively tested this. yet very singe time I play music it will crackle.


Anyone else got this problem or solved it?


Ive have several software updates since i've had it which I thought would solve the issue but hasn't.
