I have MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro 16GB and I have same issue. This is happening when memory is loaded above 50% (memory pressure 50%+). It is happening more often, in some less but it happens couple times per minute in EVERY app that is using audio. I found that error in Console app:      CAReportingClient.mm:508   message {     "HAL_client_IO_duration" = 162424875;     HostApplicationDisplayID = "com.apple.WebKit.GPU";     cause = ClientHALIODurationExceededBudget;     deadline = 19130426;     "input_device_source_list" = "";     "input_device_transport_list" = "";     "input_device_uid_list" = "";     "io_buffer_size" = 4096;     "io_cycle" = 50;     "io_cycle_budget" = 92901625;     "io_page_faults" = 0;     "is_prewarming" = 0;     "is_recovering" = 0;     "issue_type" = overload;     lateness = 3349;     "other_page_faults" = 73;     "output_device_source_list" = "Internal Speaker";     "output_device_transport_list" = BuiltIn;     "output_device_uid_list" = BuiltInSpeakerDevice;     "safety_violation" = 1;     "sample_rate" = 44100;     "scheduler_latency" = 24041;     "smallest_buffer_frame_size" = 256; }: (     1782411427842 ) Another error (after recent crackling):      CAReportingClient.mm:508   message {     "HAL_client_IO_duration" = 366291;     HostApplicationDisplayID = "org.mozilla.plugincontainer";     cause = PageFaultsOffIOThread;     deadline = 1299694;     "input_device_source_list" = "";     "input_device_transport_list" = "";     "input_device_uid_list" = "";     "io_buffer_size" = 512;     "io_cycle" = 2527;     "io_cycle_budget" = 12358250;     "io_page_faults" = 0;     "is_prewarming" = 0;     "is_recovering" = 0;     "issue_type" = overload;     lateness = 74;     "other_page_faults" = 40;     "output_device_source_list" = "Internal Speaker";     "output_device_transport_list" = BuiltIn;     "output_device_uid_list" = BuiltInSpeakerDevice;     "safety_violation" = 1;     "sample_rate" = 44100;     "scheduler_latency" = 12659958;     "smallest_buffer_frame_size" = 256; }: (     1782411427870 )
