Speakers Crackling Sound

Hi,

Does the same happens with headphones?

same is happening to me, any fix on this?

Also here. All of a sudden audio quality went to crap, and the sound was horrible. I rolled back the driver. I think it was the windows updates. I blame everything on windows. This Windows 10 is the worst OS I have ever seen in my life. Nothing works great on this computer. Nothing worth a crap. 2000$ getting flushed. The touchpad is crackly, glitchy, screen has shadows all over the borders. LAST DELL I WILL EVER OWN.

I have the same problem right after the update.

Same thing happened to me, Ive had my Alienware 17 R4 for just a few weeks as well and it happened the first day I got it.  I ran the troubleshooter and it suggested to disable something with the sound and just use the "basic" sound I think.  I dont even remember, but it stopped doing that when not using the Alienware sound center or whatever it was.  

brand new machine yesterday 03/21/2017  machine updated while I was sleeping. get up in the morning and the volume is no longer what it was. just terrible I say just terrible.

I bought my laptop perhaps a month ago or so and this jjust started to happen to me, its Fking terrible it even cracks and screeches when its should be muted

I'm facing the same issue here, since day one. I can't hear anything out of my speakers. Please HELP!
