Heavy audio crackling

Does this only occur in games?
Only in one game?
Does it only crackle in the headset, what about removing the headset and trying speakers?

What about online videos?
What have you tried so far, I assume you have already checked the drivers!
What is the make/model of the headset? Is it wireless or USB connected?

So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.
