Thank you! For me I tried step 3 first, disable audio enhancements, and it worked!
Pretty frustrating to have a brand new laptop with audio issues...

DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO.
If you have "crackling" speaker, the chances that the problem is caused by software and not hardware is close to 0%.
If it was a software problem, u probly wouldnt have gotten any audio.
I bet most of the "people" in comments are just bots.

Here's a thing... I spilt some fluid on my laptop, right hand of the keyboard not near the mains cable. Turned it off right away from the mains, took battery out, dried it out for a couple of days, took it apart and cleaned best I could, put it back together and it was working, a bit goofy for a couple of days but then settled down... Apart from... the left hand speaker, not the right, has a kind of static crackling distortion sound, sometimes it goes away but it always comes back... Tried all the update drivers stuff but still got the static noise...
Update... The crackling on the left channel finally stopped

Wow, thank you. changing my driver from realtek to “High Definition Audio Device” really solved my problem 👍🏼👍🏼
My Victus laptop can now return to normal

Pc started screaming more after updating the driver. Now installing the most recent one hoping it'll work. I regret doing this, but there's no going back now.

Hi guys,
For those of yall which none of the above shown methods worked, y'all can go to bottom right in ur laptop screen expand and go to the sound mixer, then a there will be several ways of testing audio. First what you need to do is check the left and right channels. For me the left channel was bugging. To check it reduce the right channel and have the left channel at max and test the sound out. If that has a crackling noise then the left side speaker is messed up. Same way to test with the right channel. If both channels emit the same sound that would unfortunately mean the speaker system is messed up. Try checking with trusted technician.
