Firstly turn off your computer and make sure your power cable is properly inserted into the pc. Unplug all speakers, headphones and mike. Check all the other cables are properly pushed into the pc and monitor. Turn it on if you still hear crackling i would probably buy a new power supply for £10 on ebay. Really simple to install. This sound problem is gone after I restarted the laptop, but after some time, the crackling sound is back again. I have tried everything from updating the Realtek sound card driver, using extra computer speakers, to using an external USB sound card and still no luck. After discussing it with my friends, I found some methods to fix this problem.
Hi Kucana,
- If you have a Windows 7 machine with a Realtek sound chipset or drivers, then you may have run into a problem where you randomly hear crackling or popping or static while playing audio through your speakers or even headsets.

Speakers Making Crackling Noise
Computer Making A Crackling Sound
So basically what has been happening is, when I load up a game (Could be Garrys Mod or Arma 3) My Computer starts lagging hard and my audio becomes distorted and crackling. I have checked my task manager during these times. My CPU, GPU and Ram have all been below 40% usage. This was a wiped computer I bought and has been working fine for about a week once I got it. My specs are as follows,
Case: NZXT H440
CPU: Hexacore Intel Core I7-5920K, 3.30GHz (36x100) - 6 Core& 12 Threads
Motherboard: Asus X99 Pro/USB 3.1 (2 PCI-E x1, 4 PCI-E x16, 2 M.2, 8 DDR4 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
RAM: 32 GB DDR$ - 2133 SDRAM
GPU: Asus Strix 1070 8 GB OC
SSD: 128 GB Kingston
HDD 2TB Western 7200RPM
Cooler: Cooler Master CPU Cooler
PSU: 850W Power Supply

Please help, I want to use this computer so badly and talk to friends on TeamSpeak 3 but this is causing a huge problem. Also I know this is a computer issue not a internet issue as my computers mouse will gitter around the screen when its lagging, it also is very slow during this time. THANK YOU
