Crackling, popping, and other sound problems can occur for a variety of reasons. You may be able to fix the problem by adjusting your audio device settings, updating your sound driver, or pinning down another hardware device that’s interfering. Here are some things to try.

Before you start messing with settings, it’s worth checking your hardware itself. If a cable connection is loose, this could cause some sound problems. Ensure all your audio cables are connected securely. If the problem persists, here are a few potential solutions.

Of course, the first thing to try and do in these situations is update the drivers. In the case of audio crackling and popping, you should update the BIOS drivers, video drivers and sound card drivers. Since a lot of these components are connected in some way or another, it’s a good idea to update as many hardware drivers as possible, not just the sound drivers.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

Great video. My issue turned out to be Chrome. I can use any browser but not that one. Not sure how or why but my clicking went away. I learned so much from this video so thanks.

[dallasstreb]

Thanks so much! Fixed my long crackling problem

Telling the device manager to look for updated drivers has NEVER worked for me. I have audio crackling like once every 20 minutes on a brand new PC. Reinstalling the driver fixed it for 1 day, then the same problem came back.
