I have the same issue in my 2016 Pilot. Static/crackling sound from speakers, using radio, AM, FM, Bluetooth, DVD.  
Only the navigation sound is ok.  
Dealer recommends to replace the Audio head unit @ $1,388.89 cost.

Get a quote from a car audio shop. You can probably get an aftermarket unit installed for a lot less.

Get a second opinion from an independent shop.
