However, in an attempt to solve recurring keyboard woes, Cupertino seems to have hit another pitstop – this time with the speakers on the MacBook Pro.
Several users have reported that built-in speakers on the new 13-inch, as well as 15-inch MacBook Pro, areproducing random crackling sounds during audio playback. They have flocked toApple Support Communities, YouTube, andRedditto report the issue.
The crackling sound is being heard from the speakers in different use-cases, such as while watching a video in VLC media player, using GarageBand or watching videos on YouTube. There isno word on whether the crackling issue is faced at certain frequencies or volumesas there a number of variables to consider with the audio output.
Apple has reportedly been made aware of the issue and a fix may be under development. The Cupertino giant hasn’t yet acknowledged the issue publicly but we can expect a fix to roll out with the stable builds of MacOS Mojave in the coming weeks.
