That's kinda funny. When I play the test file in foobar with the Apple dongle, my mouse and keyboard stop working! They come back to life after the file stops playing, though. Tried it with a few other dongles and didn't have that issue. Strange. And yes, I hear that intermittent crackle when using the Apple dongle with this test file.If you play this sound through the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter you will hear a static like crackle in addition to the rumble:

I thought I had a defective adapter so I bought another one and it does the same thing. Doesn't matter what headphones are used. Happens on my MBP and a Dell laptop.
Normal 3.5mm output from MBP, Dell laptop, or any other device does not cause this crackle.
The Lightning to 3.5mm adapter does not have this issue. I also bought the Anker USB-C to 3.5mm and it doesn't have this issue either. So it's an issue exclusive to the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
Is there something intrinsically wrong with the adapter design that causes this?
