I purchased a brand new ue megaboom, crackled from day.
They refunded me my money so I thought I'd pull it apart (what a bit*ch that was).
After checking all connections, swapping the speaker's around, I determined it was definitely a speaker hardware issue.
Thoroughly inspected the cone causing the trouble and found that the rubber ring surrounding the cone, was not glued all of the way around.
I assume this is a widespread issue due to so many other having similar issues that couldn't be rectified with that standard software trouble shooting.
I ran a thin bead of super glue around the rim of the cone, set the rubber gently onto it, then another light bead around again once the first had dried.
Popped it back together and BOOM!
Problem solved.
Hope this helps others.
P.s. Dont expect it your speaker to ever be waterproof again.
These speakers are pretty tricky to pull apart without breaking.
