WHY AM I HEARING SOME GLITCHES AFTER THE LATEST UPDATE

Hi, ever since I updated my MacOS to the latest version, I've been hearing some glitches while playing music.


I don't know if anyone else is facing this issue, but I'm a bit concerned, the Macbook is barely 2months old.

The speaker works well and sound are also very clear and of high quality while playing my music but I don't seem to settle with the glitches I hear sometimes while playing music.


I'd appreciate any helpful response.

Thanks.

Try a Safeboot and test, reboot as normal and test


SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262



Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.




Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS
