macbook pro 16 inch right speaker distorted

Just bought this computer two weeks ago, only had this happen once, i did a nvram reset and reboot and it seemed to go away. But im reading online a lot of people are having issues with their speakers. This should not be happening with a 2 week old computer. I am not sure if this is software or hardware related though? Only happened once and it was a distorted sound on the right speaker, no popping at all.

Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Speakers Hi, my macbook pro has recently had speaker issues and sounds like the speakers may have blown as the sound is now distorted. Is there any way this can be fixed? My macbook is now 5 years old so unsure if this is covered on warranty or not still aswell

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!

Brand new MacBook Air m2 speakers are making cracking noise Hi guys! I recently purchased a new MacBook Air M2 and out of the box itself its making cracking noises which is prominent on higher volumes. When I checked for the specific speaker for the problem by moving the sound balance from left to right, it became evident that this cracking sound is coming from the left speaker. What could be the problem? If this is a hardware issue, would this be covered under apple warranty?
