Sonos Amp random popping / cracking sound on left channel

Hi, I have a Sonos Amp (new generation). its been plugged in october. I noticed that often when changing songs on Spotify, I would hear a popping / cracking sound from my left speaker. I tried to reproduce the problem but it was really random. A week ago, it started cracking /popping at random pretty much at any time, on any source like when I use Spotify, my TV or my Amazon Fire stick.

 

I interchanged the left and right speaker to see if the problem was coming from the speakers, and it was still only affecting the left channel... I tried new cables, new banana plug... New hdmi cable... Connected to my network with a cable... Still no luck…

Is there a possibility that my amp needs to be repaired or maybe there's an update or something I could do?

 

Thanks!

Hi! 

My confirmation number is 1627793477

I started to notice the popping sound in the first weeks of use. But it was only when I used Spotify mostly... Now it became completely random on all sources. I didn't change anything before this week where I tried pretty much everything from different speakers to new cables and network configuration... 

 

Thanks for your help

I just did a test since the problem was more intense tonight, I plugged my right speaker in the left channel... Look at the video, you'll hear what it does
