Crackling audio in macOS Safari
I get intermittent crackling when audio is playing via @elemaudio/web-renderer. I'm on Sonoma 14.2.1, Safari 17.2.1.
Places I'm hearing crackling in the audio coming out of safari:
- https://teetow.com/elementary_grid/
- https://www.elementary.audio/playground
- el.sample (with both 44.1k and 48k sample rate wavs) and el.cycle(440) in my own simple tests with @elemaudio/web-renderer
FWIW I don't hear crackling in the howler.js demos I've checked or arpeggi studio
Hey @psugihara thanks for writing, and sorry for the delay here. Can you share more information on the machine you're running? I'm currently on a Mac M1 Air, Ventura 13.6/Safari 16.6 with no crackling, curious if we can diagnose what you're seeing.
no problem, just checked and it still does it on both links 🤷
Apple M1 Max 14.2.1 (23C71), Safari Version 17.2.1 (19617.1.17.11.12)
Thanks @psugihara! Seems so strange that a faster machine with a newer Safari would show issues that I'm not seeing on mine. I'll see if I can collect some more data here to help illuminate what's going on
