Audio random Cracks and pops on Mac mini m2

Hello, I own a new Mac mini M2 (I think it is a max) 16GB and 512.

I work in Audioproduction and recently I have random pops and cracks appear randomly in my workstation. Sometimes they are there and sometimes not. Most of the time it happens on the same audio track at the exact same spot and it is even there after exporting audio from my software to a wav. file.

I use a Universal Audio Apollo twin X as an audio Interface. Please help me as this is a very concerning issue for me as a producer.

Mac mini, macOS 13.3

** I'm sorry I'm using MacBookPro M2 I didn't know that category is mac mini only after I posted this. but let me leave this post because that problem happens M2 chip. **

I am a game developer, and I'm using Unity I usually work with google meet or turn on youtube videos.

When I save code in Visual Studio or play a game in Unity Editor with turning on music, crack sound happens 100%.

Even when I connect to Bluetooth Speaker I can hear that cracking sound...

I visited "frisbee" (Apple service center) with this issue, and they didn't figure out what exact reason they did diagnostics and no error was detected, and factory reset. but this symptom still exists. I just backed up and restored my datas when they do factory reset. it was kind of annoying. even after I figured out this symptom wasn't resolved.

I really want to know the main reason.. should change Motherboard or some part of hardware?
