“Popping Sound”

I have the same problem. There are small audio glitches from time to time (more if you have a memory-hungry app open at the same time) with a USB sound card from RME. If I increase the sample rate to 192 kHz the problem seems to get worse and I can also hear glitches / popping / crackling on the internal loudspeakers. From what I’ve read so far, this seems to be a serial issue with a lot of the newer macs. The same device (RME sound card) works flawlessly on an iPad or some other digital audio source. I’ve also wiped my machine completely and had it checked for hardware defects by Apple. The problem persists.

Apparently on my previous tries, I must have had an error of some sort. Thanks now to @daneover and the great step-by-step guide they provided, I'm now listening to some tunes on YouTube, via my Mackie Onyx-1220i 's Firewire connection!! Mac mini 2023 with M2 Pro | 32GB RAM MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 Followed the instructions in sections 1, 2, and 3. No apparent issues installing the FW kext from the AppleFWAudioVentura.pkg. Downloaded the ZIP file & extracted the .pkg to my desktop. Note: One thing I did not do is have the Mackie connected to my Mini via FW during the whole install/config. I waited until the last step in part 3 (after double reboot) to finally get connected. Also of note, I have had success via 2 different ways to connect to my Mini. In previous attempts, I tried the dongle daisy chain method with a FW800 (male) > FW400 (female) adapter connected to the Apple FW800 > TB2 adapter, and finally the TB2 > TB3 adapter. This time around, that collection of adapters is working great. Prior t

In the Finder, tap on that folder and then control/right-click - from the pop up, choose Get info >.Under permissions, unlock it, and then set permissions to read and write. Click on the gear below and set to all inside.'dgph' sounds like something to do with cocoapods...

Tried all the trouble shooting steps as well, sound issue seems to be intermitten especially in Logic Pro but seems to also pop even when loading a song in Apple Music or a video on Youtube. Very Frustrating as audio engineer. Even switched from 2015 MacBook Pro to 15 inch 2018 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 and updated to Big Sur. Same issue. we need a fix!

I'm having the same issue, random popping and crackling sounds when the memory is on high pressure, on a MBP 14-inch 2021. Absolutely egregious this hasn't been addressed by Apple having affected so many people. I hope for a future recall, a class-action suit, or something!

Yeah, it happens everytime. It builds then crash. I saw a guy in another forum solved it with mac's sound settings. But it didnt work for me. Im trying to solve this obout a week now. I see resource can not be upload pop up in my dreams i will cry soon 🙂.

M3 Max 36GB MBP 16 (no usb dacs, just native speakers) Back to Apple after 18 years. Waited for apple silicon to mature a bit and decided to go with this generation. Am absolutely dumbfounded to see this issue. I don't have any crackles or popping. What I do have is the sound having micro cuts, be it Youtube, Spotify and it doesn't even need massive loads or spikes for it to happen. No memory pressure at all. This is actually unbelievable and unacceptable on such an expensive computer. Have dirt cheap laptops that handle audio better than this. Clearly something is amiss with Core Audio, not sure why Apple aren't addressing this as sound performance is absolutely mandatory for a smooth experience. Thank God I'm not back to doing audio engineering on Macs this is unacceptable.
