alienware 17 r5 speaker crackling

I just received my new 17 R5 a couple days ago and as soon as i turned it on Cortana started to walk me through setting up the computer. Right away i could tell that the left speaker has a crackling noise. After i got up and running I could still hear it. It gets worse the louder I set the volume. I tried to re install the audio drivers but it is still there. And over all the audio seems a bit low compared to my last R3 that this is replacing.

I have the same issue with my speakers, the strange thing is that even with my headphones the crackling sound remains, is it a software problem?
