After upgrade to macOS 12.1 the sound speaker become crackling and popping

Hi,

today I upgrade my mac from Big Sur(11.6.1) to Monterey (12.1),

after the upgade the speakers sound become crackling and popping,

but if I use headphone the sound is no problem.


I had done NVRAM reset but still have the same issue.

Is there any method I can do to fix this problem?

Thank you!

Here is what fixed my issue! From different forum:


"I found going to applications->utilities->audio midi setup and changing the sample rate on Built-in Output to 48000 or 96000 worked (or at least it works now... just done it). it seems like 44100 isn't working right now. Odd as was fine on Big Sur. I'm on MacBook Pro (15", 2017) Intel, OS 12.2.1."
