mac studio; audio interfaces disappear throughout the day. There is Loud popping and cracking.

When My mac studio was brand new, with no software installed this was a problem...

during active use, when idle, with no apps running... My Speakers: Audio engine 2+ speakers... get disconnected. The disconnect is a loud Pop. This noise occurs also upon startup and shutdown (regardless of whether the system can still see the speakers)

The speakers are pristine. they have never given me any problems under any circumstances prior to the Mac studio. The speakers were moved back to the old machine and tested extensively. The problem is the mac studio.

This behavior occurs when the speakers are plugged in through USB and mini jack.

it is CLEARLY some kind of short in the main board. This machine has been checked and rechecked by APPLE, and they have found no issues with their diagnostic tools... which... no duh. looking for a basic problem with electricity is going to be difficult with software.

I am at my wit's end with this. if anybody has had this issue (and it wasn't software conflict) and you figured it out... what did you do?
