I’ve been fighting the crackles for a long while. It doesn’t happen constantly, but even the occasional crackle noise is disconcerting.

Your issues is why I move to Mac a year ago, and I’m not looking back. Currently rocking an M1 Macbook Air for my live setup, and an M2 Pro Mac Mini for my studio machine.
