Help Crackling speaker sound

[AdiA]

So when I go to Google Translate on Chrome app and translate from any language to any and press the speaker to hear how it's pronounced, this crackling sound comes out. How to fix that? Only happens in Chrome!

Do you hear the crackling sound with other apps or is it just the translator app?

Are you using any type of sound enhancement app?

Boosters, equalizers, etc.?

Translator on the Chrome and Sound cloud in Chrome, it's only in Chrome

I think it's software, because it's only happening in Chrome app.

You could try an alternate browser to confirm your suspicions. I do use Google translate but admit that I have never converted the result to speech.

Just use another browser.
First of all, Chrome is garbage at best- and nefarious spyware at its worst.

Use any browser that uses Android System Webview as the webview, and be sure to check the webview setting in developers options- Google has a nasty habit of making Chrome the webview!
(In my mind that means that Google is using Chrome to monitor everything you do online.)

Sometimes Chrome must be disabled in order for you to be able to change the webview app, and this also leads me to not trust Chrome or Google even more.

Lightning is an excellent browser, much faster and able to be more secure.

You can access Translate from the Google homepage, there is no need for any extra app at all.

In Samsung Internet browser both pages work just fine.
