MacBook Pro 2019 Speakers are making pop sounds

Hello everyone,


I know this problem has been reported before but i have a brand new (two months old) BTO 2019 machine and i find it impossible to work like this.


I have a random click - pop sound coming from the right speaker almost every 30 seconds. I have done all the troubleshooting, reset SMC, NVRAM, logged in as a new user, even a disk reset and fresh install. Nothing worked.


This is very easy to replicate. Every time a video starts playing in Vimeo, You Tube or any other platform, a pop is coming through the right speaker. If i place the cursor at any moment of the video, there is always a click sound after loading and just before playback begins.


It happens even if i open a video from my desktop at the time the playback begins.


The problem goes away if i plug in an external audio device or headphones. So it may be related to the internal audio interface, although i can't hear the pop while using the headphones.


I took the machine to an authorised reseller, the tests showed that everything is ok and i just got it back. Apparently it's not ok as i can replicate this at any time (i did this in front of the technicians) and it's really frustrating. My work has to do with audio and i can't deal with this on such an expensive device.

Any Ideas?

Thanks for your time
