The issue is with the speakers. Reason is you had connected headphone and external speakers and that’s working fine.
I do request you to provide the service tag number on a private chat and I will get back to you on the warranty status.
Below details will help you on how to send me a private chat.

I am having Dell xps 15 . ( service tag HJ4WBR1) The JBL speakers were working till last month, suddenly am getting cracking sound from the speakers, when i play audio or video. But when i connect any headphones it working fine, please suggest solution for me.
Hello. If you want to test whether the speakers are going bad, remove your IDT audio driver.
Go to Start>Control Panel>View by Category>Uninstall a Program. Go down the list to "IDT Audio" and uninstall it. Restart the laptop and Windows will install its own native audio driver. If you still hear the crackling with the native driver then the speakers are failing.
To get rid of the native driver just download a fresh copy of the IDT driver from Dell and install it.
I am using Dell XPS L502X. The same problem of cracking sound from my speaker exists and I need to repair it.
So kindly guide me as how to replace it.
Hello. Nikil has been gone from the forum for quite a few months.
If you want to test whether the speakers are going bad, try using the native Windows driver as I suggested a few posts above this. Also be aware that there are other reasons that speakers can have noises. See the Choppy/Shipping Audio FAQ for solutions that worked for other owners.
If you have determined that the speakers need replacing, download the XPS L502x Service Manual from this page. It is available in a variety of languages, and it will provide step by step instructions for replacing the speakers.
Note: when you follow the links to the manual, you will be able to view it in your browser; however you should perform an additional step and open it in Adobe Reader in order to view the manual properly. When you are working on your laptop you should have the manual open in another computer within viewing range. If that is not practical then you should print out the manual after opening it in Adobe Reader.
My model is xps l502x and now i could understand that it's having a problem with jbl subwoofer .so what to do.

You might be able to find the part on ebay or some similar site.
If you are unsure whether or not the speaker needs to be replaced, the next time you perform a system recovery (return the laptop back to the original factory configuration) test the audio immediately after the recovery. If the speaker is still not working right it needs replacing, because the system recovery will fix any software problems with the audio, so any problems that remain after the recovery are in the hardware.
