How can I fixed my MacBook Pro Mid 2015 update this morning to Catalina 10.15.7, after few minutes of watching movies, the left speaker has annoying sound. How to fix this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
Similar problem too.
Anybody solved this?
I am running 10.15.7 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).
And posted here as well, before I saw this thread.
The combo update is usually the safest and most reliable. Sometimes when a user updates from say a .2 to a .5 version with just the incremental updater they miss some files that the .3 or .4 might have added. The combo includes all updates from the .1 to whatever it is.
Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac? If so download and run Etrecheck. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

Before running Etrecheck assign Full Disk Access to Etrecheck in the Etrecheck's Privacy preference pane so that it can get additional information from the Console and log files for the report:

I have the same issue...just updated my iOS the other night and played Spotify this morning & noticed the crackling. My machine is less than a year old & shouldn't be having issues like this for the amount of money I paid. Unacceptable. I will try this fix. Fingers crossed!
ı have a same problem. My computer ise mac pro 2014. When ı having this problem after uptake 10.15.7. When ı using music player, left speaker have crackling sound, but when ı using headphone ı have not this problem. I searching solution this problem but ı didn't find. How fix this problem?
MBP 2019 - Just updated and the same issue. Has anyone applied the Combo Update? I don't want to do it and cause more issues. I had to update to 10.15.7 as there were issues with Airdrop and now it makes it almost impossible to use video calls. Unbelievable that this was mentioned here in September and yet Apple still haven't found a fix!
Catalina has been nothing but trouble - lets hope Big Sur is better!
after the update to 10.15.7, the left speaker of my macbook pro 201, 3.1 Ghz Quad Core i7, started tot crackle. The right speaker is kind of okay, till i turn up the volume. Than the speaker takes off the high frequencies.
I updated to Big Sur and hoped it helped me out, but it didn't.
I might have blew my speakers, but i really dont know when that should have happened.
Same issue for me after upgrading to BigSur. It is unacceptable to have this kind of issue for this very expensive laptop. Apple needs to improve it customer relationship management. It is a shame!
I have tried editing the MIDI settings, tried restarting coreaudiod, the issue persists. I did not have this issue, started experiencing it after and update on MacOS Catalina. I hoped it would be fixed with BigSur, but same situation.
The same problem in my Macbook Pro Retina 13, Mid 2014 (right speaker). I think the problem is getting worse and worse. Did somebody get back to Mojave and then the problem disappear?
Same issue with Left speaker, just after described herein, after installing Catalina and Big Sur to 2015 Vintage MacBook Pro.
The sound control panel has been modified by Apple in these latest macOS releases and there is obvious trouble with it.
The Speak balance slider was all of the way to the Left when I first looked at it which was odd after install these macOS'
I suspect a flaw. (Hopefully not nefarious) Prior apple software update wrecked my keyboard at one point in the past.
Apple did a recall and I got them to fix it.
I have this issue on 11.1 on a brand new MBP 16" pro =/. third unit to have this issue in the last 2 months. This a known issue from Decemember 2019: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/12/05/macbook-pro-popping-sound-bug-returns-in-new-16-inch-model
Now with the latest Big Sur 11.2 Both speakers are garbled, not just the left speaker on the MacBook Pro mentioned herein.
The operating system has corrupted my machine internal speaker output. The sound problem does not occur when BlueTooth is paired with my Bose headphones.
Did you apply the update from the System/Software Update preference pane? If so try downloading and applying the macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Combo Update and see if that helps.
I have the exact problem after the same update.
I have the same issue. This is an absurd for what that machine costs (Macbook Pro 16''). Apple please fix this on an emergency update ASAP!
I have the same problem but with the right speaker after update 10.15.7
My MacBook Pro is Early 2015 13"
Crackling Sound after Update 10.15.7
