Hi,

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue to myself, I just received my new MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and upon testing the speakers out the right speaker has awful muffled cracking sound when any type of audio is played above 70% volume. Its most apparent when playing audio with lots of speech.

I went though apple support resetting the NVRAM and SMC with no luck.

Apple have agreed to return my 2016 TB MacBook Pro and have ordered me a replacement which is estimated for delivery between 4th - 9th Jan!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad: Im at the back of the queue now which is most disappointing considering I had already waited a month for this machine and was one of the first people in the UK to receive my new Mac. :(

Anyone else having this issue?
 
Turns out its a Bootcamp Issue running on the Late 2016 TB MacBook Pro. I ran windows 10 and heard the popping and crackling in the speaker then.
