crackling speaker

[mlb71]

I listened to music on my z1 last night, but afterwards the speaker was crackling. It wasn't loud enough to be heard unless I put the speaker next to my ear.
I turned my phone off and it stopped. I turned it back on and it stopped for a while before doing it again. It has now stopped again.
Why is it doing this?

That seems to be
a hardware issue, contact Sony Xperia Support

Did you ever immersed your Z1 into water?

If your phone has been exposed to water wait few hours for the speaker to dry out

It hasn't been immersed although there is a chance that water may have splashed onto it.

Do contact your local Xperia Care

It seems to have stopped now, but if it happens again I will. Thank you
