The focus here is your speaker problem, it doesn't care how old it is, but when its crackling, its broken, physically damaged, can't be fixed by software. So many factor, including in manufacturing process. Same goes for speakers, it has some factors that can make its life shorter.

For example a Hard Drive (HDD), Some HDD can last 10 or maybe 20 years, but mine not even 5 years, because I carry it everyday on my backpack, so there is another factor here that causing my HDD died in a young age, it's vibration. And sometimes we don't really know what really happened with our devices. In a normal daily use, maybe it will not likely to happen, but sometimes that few percent happen to some people. I tried to give you another example of "output audio devices", speakers and earphones are basically the same.Ģ years old, or 10 years old, electronic device age can't be counted like that. Not long after that, my earphones start giving that crackling noises, either I put it into my phone or laptop, it gives the same crackling noise. And when that one time happen, I noticed that maybe accidentally a bit of water slips into it, or my sweat goes into it because I used it when I'm doing some physical exercise. What I mean is "in other case" meaning that I use the earphones for my phone and laptop instead of just laptop. Click to expand.Yes, I understand what you mean.
