Sound from Thunderbolt Display crackles intermittently
Hello,
Ever since I bought my Thunderbolt display a month ago I've noticed an issue that I thought was a one-time thing. However it happened again today and I believe I know what's causing the issue.
The issue is that every now and then the audio from the TBD will start to crackle and become indistinguishable.
My office is setup with a MBP Retina (mid 2013) running Yosemite and the TBD.
The issue seemingly presents itself when the MBP lags. I often have a few graphics / programming apps open, as well as streaming my music, Facebook, etc. If I quickly switch from Photoshop to MS Word, for instance, if there's a slight lag while switching, the sound issue on the TBD occurs. Same can be said if I switch tabs quickly in Firefox (rarely, but it's happened). It seems any amount of slightly noticeable lag with make the sound start to crackle.
The remedy for this at the moment is simply unplugging the TBD from the Display Port and plugging it back in. The MBP has two TB ports, and the issue happens when using either of them.
Anyone else ever experience this?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Thunderbolt Display 27-inch
