My brand new 16” MBP M1 Max 10/32/64 speaker static

My brand new MBP 16” has been making a static sound everytime there I exit from audio playing. It happens on YouTube and any other place sound plays even in settings. Has anyone else experienced this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

Although not a guaranteed fix, you can try to use safe mode on your Mac.


The idea is that once you're in, you just restart back to normal to see if the problem is fixed.


Give it a try if you like, I just can't guarantee that it would work. 😉

Troubleshooting Mac Sound:


What to Try:

  • Raise the Volume: If sound is not working, then raise the volume.


  • Remove External Devices: Verify what your output item is. Also, disable Bluetooth, if enabled.



  • Restart the Mac:

Perhaps you've unknowingly installed an update, and all needs to rest. For, restart the Mac. See if it then works.


Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Sound) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.


  • Boot into Safe Mode:

When you boot into Safe Mode, items load by default, with certain settings and caches set aside. So, hold down the shift key upon boot. See what happens then.


  • Create a New Administrator:

See if creating and logging in as a new administrator does the trick. There may be something misconfigured in your current user - something that is getting in the way. Go to: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Unlock > Click: "+" > Create the new administrator
