Crackling sound on MacBook Pro 2018

Hi. Has this been resolved. I’m curious because I had purchased a MacBook Pro back in November 2018. It gave the same symptoms of crackling sound from the speakers. I am mediately returned it but still want to purchase it. But I am hesitant to purchase the same issues. Do you know if it’s been resolved? Did Apple do anything for you?

I have the same problem , the crackling just started to appear yesterday.did you find how to resolve it?

So very often you mean not like in my case that I didn't hear anything in a few hours straight?

When you tell more frequently what do you mean? every 10 minutes ,30 minutes?

This emphatically DOES NOT work.

I have updated to mojave. . still no fix for me , happens always in my headphones but not my speakers. And all the quick fixes do not help

Excuse me. I meant to say, “I’m one of the unlucky ones.”

My crackle just started in the past 2-3 weeks. I am running Mojave 10.14.2, but my air is almost 5 years old. Never had this issue previously.

I got my 2018 MBP 15" in January. No crackling sound in the speakers. I don't think this is any longer a current issue.

That’s good man. It was so disappointing. Thanks for the heads up.

I am experiencing crackling and popping as well, along with some audio slowdown in Maschine 2.0. I have 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and 6 core i7, so I doubt CPU usage is an issue. This is incredibly frustrating as I purchased this machine specifically to run music software.

Has anyone resolved this?

Thanks!

I have just finished a call with tech support representative and we agreed to run some tests... I will try to do more testing because I don't use macbook pro all day everyday . I have also bought it to use for making music as I am a music producer.

what type of crackling you have , PeterScu? I've connected my audio interface today and got a strange cut offs/popups during vocal recording in Cubase so I will have to run more of these tests too.

But as for crackling I'm gonna investigate it and help Apple tech support to learn about the issue. feels like they have a great tech support

Hi Alias98.

You are not alone with this crackling issue. I have the laptop over 1 week only and found the noise in the 4th day even if I have the latest updates for High Sierra. Didn't go for Mojave yet. Some say Mojave will fix it, but I couldn't really find users that previously wrote about their sound problem on these conversations, to come back and tell us if they fixed it or not, and how. Also the others that are saying they are in touch with Apple, they don't come back with anything official or 100% fix.

In the meantime, could you please tell us beginners into Mac, how/where do you change the sound sampling from 44 khz to 48khz?

Thanks

My 15" MacBook Pro running on Mojave 10.14.1, purchased in August, just started with the crackling speakers issue yesterday and I wasn't playing music. I noticed it from the "notification" tone. 🤔 I restarted my laptop and it sounded fine until this morning. Now I see that others are experiencing the same problem.

I don't have time to replace/repair my MacBook right now.😭 Please reply if yours start acting up again, BriSeeley? Would appreciate any help or guidance from others.

Thanks much!

I have bought a new macbook pro 15 2018 and noticed this issue after a few hours listening to spotify.. it occurs randomly a few times then I can listen once again for some time and then it comes back... How can I even present the problem to Apple and prove it's happening if I can't show it to them right away?
