Fix annoying popping crackling sound on the new MacBook Pro 16inch. Save this file and run it or copy and paste the onliner and run it in a terminal.
# if you don't understand how to save this file and execute it (open reset-audio.command)
# then copy and paste this oneliner and enter your password for privileged access:
# sudo kill -9 $(ps axc|awk "{if (\$5==\"coreaudiod\") print \$1}");
# get the process ID of coreaudio
PID=$(ps axc|awk "{if (\$5==\"coreaudiod\") print \$1}")
if [ $PID != "" ]
then
echo "Killing coreaudiod process on $PID"
# Killing the audio daemon ( don't worry: MacOS will bring it back up )
if sudo kill -9 $PID; then
echo "Done. Audio should be fine"
else
echo "That didn't work..."
fi
else
echo "CoreAudio not running?"
fi

@Viamusic1000 too bad! Hope that Apple soon comes with a fix because it's an annoying bug to have for such an expensive device.
