sounds from the internal speakers on my 2015 Macpro has static and distorts.

How do I fix the sound quality on my 2015 Mac Pro (Bigger 11.5.2) . About a month ago the sound starting distorting with static from my internal speakers. . It is hard to understand and terrible to listen to. I have all my software updated and Apple Chat support had me reset the SMC. Nothing has fixed it so far. Anyone have an idea of a fix?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5

The current stable release is macOS 11.6

I would suggest resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
