2021 MacBook Pro - Crackling/Popping Speakers - So frustrating!

My new MacBook Pro 2021 M1 16" of 2-3 weeks has recently started outputting crackling sound when playing from Apple Music. The frequency of this occurrence is unpredictable: volume doesn't matter, rebooting, running on battery/plugged in, number of programs open, etc. ...


Has anyone come up with a fix or do we need to wait for another hardware recall?


I paid way too much money for this to be happening...Grrr

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.2
