I have a strange problem on my 3 weeks old M1 MacBook Air. Whenever I play audio in Safari or Apple Music via 3.5mm jack and I skip forward or backward, I hear a slight crackling sound for half a second. But on Google Chrome this is not the case! It's very weird and annoying.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Is there a fix? It probably has something to do with the sound card turning off if there's no audio playing..

Thanks in advance!
 
It also happens when I'm in Finder and press the backspace key, a slight crackling sound.
