Hi bubai1985,

Sorry you're getting some crackling audio from your speaker. I'd love to help.

So I can provide you with the most accurate information, is this in reference to the Home Speaker 500 or the Soundbar 500?

Hi,

This issue is happening with my Bose speaker 500. Kindly help me how to fix this issue.

@bubai1985 Thanks for confirming this.

Does this crackling occur across all sources that are playing? For example, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, AUX, Bose Music, etc.

Please perform a reset by removing the power for 30 seconds and then reconnecting.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

It is happening with all - AUX, Bluetooth, Alexa, etc.

I have already done all like - perform a reset by removing the power for 30 seconds and then reconnecting. But issue is not resolved.

@bubai1985 Thanks for letting us know! Could you confirm if your speaker is running the latest firmware? (v9.0.14)

If not, could you please make the update, either via the Bose Music app, or by visiting HERE.

I have updated the firmware 9.0.14, but crackling issue is observed. Seems it is not software issue. It is hardware issue.

Thank you for trying that @bubai1985, sorry to hear things did not improve.

If you're still continuing to hear crackling audio, I think it's best if you reach out to local support to look into the service options available. The team will be more than happy to walk you through the process so your issue can be resolved. Let me know how you get on with that!

Hi,

I went to Bose Service Center. They have replaced my system. It was hardware issue. Thanks Bose for giving me best support.
