CPU related crackling when playing audio though interface

Hi,

I have a CPU related crackling sound when playing audio from safari and music app. I run Logic and have adjusted playback audio engine in logic which fixes issue in app. Can't seem to fix issue in other apps.

Mac Pro 5,1 (2009)

2x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

64 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

Radeon RX580 8GB

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

Could resetting PRAM stop audio stuttering? MacBookPro early 2015. i7 and 16GB RAM. After MacOS upgrade from 10.14.6 to 12.7.1, I have a third party app that is stuttering on audio when menu drop items are chosen, including clicking from window to window, and File>Open New Finder Window. It stutters worse when I open Apple Music. Could it be PRAM, or more like a processor overload? Anyone have any experience evaluating Activity Monitor charts, graphs and CORE charts? I've attached one snapshot with several apps open and active. Looks like all 4 Cores were stretched at time of stutter, yet CPU for app that stutters did not peak out. Thanks. Frank
