Go into the sound control panel and alter the balance setting so you bias one speaker over the other. Then crankup the volume. Which one is it?

I just wanted to thank you! I never would have thought that going into the sound preferences and changing the alert sound would fix it, but sure enough it did. I play around with audio setups all the time due to music software and didn't think I changed it to the blow sound effect, but I must have. I may have brought it into apple for a repair. It's a desktop so I'm not a fan of moving it anywhere. Thanks again!!!!
not worked for me
Vijay the tip was so you could figure out which speaker is damaged in its self it won't fix your problem unless you have the volume set to high. Once you know which speaker you can then replace it.
Fantastic!! I can't believe it was so easy to fix - thank you. I've been putting up with rubbish sound for about a month now. My right speaker is fine, left is rubbish, so adjusted to be maximum right output, and it now sounds fabulous again. I'm fine with it being lopsided - just needs to sound clear. Thank you so much!
I adjusted mine and the awful crack sound is gone. Dalu!!!!

Check your System preferences/Sounds/Sound Effect tab.
See if there is a sound effects selected, mine was Blow effect, hence the output sounds is crackling.
And I never set this sound effect before, maybe is the original setting from the new OS.
Uncheck the [Play user interface sound effects]

Just to add on I had replaced mine old 2010 macbook speakers before, it sounds awful and i opened up to check. the speaker foam has been disintegrated.
If you had tried the above solution by users and the sound is still bad, open up your mac and check
MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013 Left Speaker Replacement
MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013 Right Speaker Replacement
Some good work around

If you’re using a DAW like logic and you have your I/O buffer size any lower than 128 samples and your core audio is enabled then you need to set it to 128 and it’ll fix your problem
go to logic - system preferences - audio - I/O buffer size

My MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) speaker sound crack on high volume. Is this software problem or hardware issue for which I have to pay for repair.
Was this answer helpful?
Having the same issues with the 2013 model. Seems to be isolated to the right speaker. At full volume sounds like cracking. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM but nothing.
how did u repair it plz suggest me?
Same problem but on left side, I think the speaker foam on left side has been damaged, that's why lots of crackling noises on left speaker of my MacBook Pro Mid-2015 Retina display. I just selected system preference - sound - balance (to reduce crackling on left, scroll the pointer on bar to right side and vice versa) but this is just temporary, In my opinion , I need to change the internal speaker,
