MacBook Air M2 And Speakers issue (Video Conferencing)

Hi guys,

I purchased a MacBook Air M2 last month, March 2023.

1. Great machine but speakers are such a disappointment.
2. Speakers are at 75% output.
3. Pretty much clean machine nothing installed on it.

Generally sound is kind of flat and missing richness which is expected. I never intended to listen music anyways with them.

But I am doing Zoom Calls on a daily basis and quite often - most of the times in the beginning of the meetings - the people from the other side as they start to speak, my speakers kind of break and introduce crackling noises in their speech and I am struggling to hear them.

For such an expensive machine that's so disappointing. Is that a defect that has been acknowledged?

Thanks,

Panos
