Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have the same issue as well since latest Monterey upgrade but completely with apple products. It is crackling sound with airpods/airpod pro both in airpod speaker and microphone. If reverting to macbook own speakers and microphone, then no issue. It is a real pity for MSteams meetings.
