Hi. I hope everyone is doing well. I have noticed what appears to be a bug when listening to audio thru USB C earphones in my Redmi note 14 (4G). The occasional crackle sounds happen specifically when I use USB earphones (I'm using the JBL tune305c and Philips TAE1018 "hi Res" models) for youtube, games, and local music files. It never happens through speaker or through earphone jack. so far, any adjustments through music player apps has not fixed the issue. I also cannot find any other sound or audio setting that I can fiddle with to try and fix the problem. The USB port itself seems to work fine when charging, so I am not sure if it is a hardware of firmware issue. I know I can simply settle for using the headphone jack entirely, but the USB C Earphones give me a noticeably better listening experience, so I would like the option to solve this issue.


I appreciate those who will take the time to help me solve the issue. Thank you so much.
