I don't know if this is a hardware issue or not...
The other day, I was watching a video I believe when my speakers started cracking VERY loudly. Singular, loud pops. So I muted it right away, paused the video, and then when I pressed one of the volume keys, I got the popping sound again. It's always the same noise level, no matter how far I turn the volume up, and it's anytime I press a volume button. If I leave the volume on, then videos do not play sound at all, but when I close out of the video, or a Skype beep is supposed to occur because I have a message, I get the same cracking/popping noise. Again, it's the same loud volume level every time it happens.
Restarting makes it stop, but I gave no idea what triggers it to start again. This is the third time. Please help! I haven't spilled anything on it, haven't dropped it...
It's a 15" MBP Fall 2009. I just checked for a software update and I am up to date on everything.
Edit: I plugged in my external speakers and those work just fine. No popping noise from the volume buttons, just the cute little blip noise.
