Crackle sound on MBP 14

Mac book speakers make a crackling sound in Apple Music app and YouTube on macOS Ventura 13.0.

This is an old problem, but looks like latest version of Monterey had no problems. Or maybe it was because of hard reset before last update.

Any news with that issue?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

Random crackling sound MacBook Air M2 Hi all I have a new MacBook Air M2. I just realised that the speakers of the computer are making random crackling noises. Especially when a signal sound from the Mac, like "new email" or so plays, but not as much when listening to music from Apple Music. I have checked if others are having the same issue and I found out that this seems to be a common problem, with MacBook Pros and iMacs. Is someone here experiencing the same problem? Best, Sebman

MacBook Pro 2021 14" right speaker crackling A few weeks ago, while playing music on my Mac, I noticed a crackling sound coming from the right speaker. Initially, I could resolve the issue by restarting my computer, and that worked even when the problem occurred at different times. However, lately, this particular fix has stopped working. I've tried various suggested solutions, such as updating my OS, running diagnostics (which didn't detect any audio hardware issues), booting in safe mode, and adjusting the sample rate of my audio device. But none of these steps have resolved the issue. The persistent crackling sound is quite bothersome. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a possible fix? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
