HI,
I buy new MacBook Pro M1 yesterday, and I notice today that my left speaker crackling on high volume. Also I update Big Sur 11.1. Is this hardware or software issue? What I can do?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1
Hi miljan49,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your new MacBook Pro and a crackling speaker.
Have you tested with multiple audio sources? This could help isolate the issue if you tested with Apple Music and then YouTube for example
Seeing if the issue occurs over headphones would also help isolate.
If the issue occurs inside a new user account, then the possibility of the issue being hardware is more likely: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.
If that's the case you'd want to look into an exchange or service.
Have a fantastic day!
