Inspiron 13 7378 2-in-1 Audio Crackling
I've had this constant problem with this gods-forsaken computer whenever I have headphones in. It never used to be like this - the first couple months I had this Inspiron, it worked fine... while I was playing WoW, the audio suddenly cut out. I updated my drivers, and suddenly... crackling. Terrible, incessant crackling. This only happens when I have headphones in.
I have tried every fix - updating my drivers, rewinding my drivers, uninstalling SmartByte, everything. Switching to high-definition fixed the first problem - awful crackling when two tabs giving sound were open - but now there's a constant crackling whenever I'm listening to sound with headphones in. Every fix I have tried has not worked.
Please, if anyone knows something, let me know.
