update: I fully uninstalled eqmac with app cleaner and updated to latest macOS. then clean reinstalled eqmac and issue seems gone. only thing remaining is crackling sound in music playback when I get a notification sound. It sounds like a short confusion between sample rates of music and notification sound.

Have you found a fix for the crackling sound/stutter that happens when notification sounds happen?

good that you´re asking because this issue is still there. I´m running the latest macOS and latest eqmac driver and its still there. Bit weird that a clean reinstall of eqmac seems to work for some time or at least makes it less noticeable.

I have the same issue. It works fine if my Macbook wakes from sleep, but If I pause or reconnect the issue happens. If I wait a few hours and have my Macbook sleep on and off or close some audio programs (and reopen them) it works again.
