Hi, my vostro 7500 has static through the headphones when audio  is playing. Also when I pause and then restart the audio, there will be a crackle. I have updated all the drivers, BIOS, everything and this problem has not gone away. I have also attempted to use the native drivers, but there were no native drivers on this laptop so that solution was useless. What can I do?

Using a different headphone seems to work. Originally I was using my earphones and switching to a set of headphones has removed the static. Is this a hardware issue related to driving impedance? The earphones do work on every other device though.
