MacBook Pro sound with a Bluetooth Speaker

I have some news: I was looking to some videos of people which have the same problem of "crackling speaker" (not exactly the same problem of a bluetooth speaker but, in general, crackling speaker). I have seen a video of a guy which tells to open the native Midi app and change the frequency format of the output.

If I open this app I have only 2 frequency for JBL GO 2 (see the picture) and I think that the first works when microphone is on (16-bit) and with this I get a really horrible sound; the second frequency is the one with the crackling but good sound.

Now, the 48 kHz has 2 channels and if I get one of them to zero, I have a good sound without crackling but, obviously, I have a lower volume.

I don't know if this thing can help to solve my problem.

Thanks!

Hi PsyDye!

First of all, thank you so much for your help.

I've done everything you told me to try, but unfortunately the problem is still present.

As I said in my first post, it's a little problem: I mean the sound isn't absolutely horrible. But if I listen to music from Mac or from other devices, I can ear this little difference.

To answer you, I have this problem listening to Spotify, so I can't try to change settings of the native music app. However, the problem is present also if I listen to YouTube video or TV shows on the internet.

If I have to give an opinion about that, it's more like an equalization problem. I have good presence of low frequencies (even if they are better with the other devices) and little crackling in the high frequencies. I underline the fact that it's like an equalization problem, but I don't think this is the problem because I didn't change anything, so the equalization is flat.

Thank you again!

Hi sarah_s1!

Thank you too for the help.

As you suggested me, I've tested another Bluetooth Speaker (the Anker Soundcore Boost) and I still have the same problem. I tried to use only 1 channel as I have done for the JBL GO 2 and, again, it seems to sound good. Actually, due to the increased power of this speaker compared to the JBL, maybe the problem is present also with only 1 channel on. So, I don't know if the problem is still present in the JBL too, but maybe I can't ear it.

By the way, even if the 1 channel could solve the problem, I can't opt to use this solution because now this speaker has the 2 speakers (Right and Left) far from each other so, unlike the JBL, I can obviously ear that the sound come from 1 speaker only; so it will be horrible with the soundbar.

Thanks again, I think I'll contact the support.
