Speaker crackling is almost always caused by a connection problem. The first thing to do is to check the wire connections between the amplifier and the terminals on the speaker itself. If the wire has a tendency to get moved around, perhaps by a cat or dog, it’s a possibility something has come loose.

Move the speaker wires away from any electrical cords. If the issue is still unresolved, reset the receiver to the factory default settings.

Why do speakers pop when turned off?

Typically a turn off pop is caused either by a grounding issue, or just for the simple fact that the amp needs to turn off before all the other equipment. This would allow the unit to stay on a few seconds more, which should give enough time to the amp to turn off before the other equipment.

How to solve turn on and turn off pops?

Turn-on pops are reasonably easy to solve as all we need to do is introduce an extra turn-on delay to the remote wire to the amps. In theory, the simplest way would be to just add a resistor and capacitor to the remote line to introduce a delay. The problem with that is that this will also cause a turn-off delay, which will cause turn-off pops.
