Crackling Issue, AirPods Pro 2 (USB C) With Spatial Audio

I have been having consistent and reliable crackling issues with my AirPods Pro 2 (USB C) when using Spatial Audio on my Mac devices. When Spatial Audio is on it crackles every couple of seconds, particularly when the sounds stops and resumes. This has been ongoing for probably 1 year. It happens on Safari consistently, but also often when using other apps such as Apple Music. This has happened across multiple MacOS versions/updates and AirPods updates. This is not related to the AirPods Pro 2 Lightning Port issue which was commonly reported. I have even taken it into the Genius Bar where they tested my AirPods and discovered no hardware issues.

Devices: AirPods Pro (USB C; version 8A356); MacBook Air M2; Imac M1.
