Crackling from MacBook Pro

[PhilipAC]

Hi all

 

I have started to get a slight crackling noise when playing my music files from my MacBook Pro. When I replace my MacBook Pro with my MacBook Air and play the same files, no crackling-perfect sound!

 

Everything else is identical, so it must be a problem with MBP.

 

Any guidance on what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Philip, you play same file? Copied from Pro to Air?

 

When you change level crackling changed also (or disappear)?

 

What software and hardware used?

What media player are you using? This is an issue with VLC, and when I switched to Audirvana (or any other player for that matter) the issue was gone.

I would take all the usual precautions (in this order):

* Power down everything, make cable connections, power back up.

* Ensure all other programs are turned off, including wi-fi.

* Enable your music player.

 

Rule all of these out FIRST. If you still have the issue, ensure power is consistent with what you were using with the Air. Also, make sure your settings in Sound are the same.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

I think I've solved it by:

 

* Deleting previous versions of Audirvana and reloading the current one

 

* Disconnecting Screenshare

 

* Activating Direct Mode

 

I don't know which of these did the trick- I may experiment to see. It just shows, though, that keeping everything optimised is

important.
