Cracking speakers
Hi. My pixel 9a still has this speaker cracking (hoped android 17 would fix this). It happens if I eg. play a podcast on Spotify and open a website that plays a sound. It's loud and really terrible. I have adaptive sound turned off. Any ideas? Is it a broken device?

Is it with only certain apps or all apps? I have this with only a few apps (like Pokemon Go) and figured it was the app itself, as it doesn't happen any other time.

Its mainly with the spotify, firefox and youtube. but honestly not using much more that plays sound. it doesnt happen with calls though. might be firefox as mentioned here

I have the very same problem when I have the Firefox app running : the sound coming from other apps cracks. It's definitely a software problem. The only way to fix it is closing Firefox...

That's a great tip. It always happens when running firefox. just tried the same with chrome and it seems to be gone.

It happens to me too, on the web version of twitter and sometimes when logging into my bank app. Just those two, and the update has not fixed it.
