How to remove crackling sound from external speakers?

Question

Iron

Yesterday there was a problem: the sound on the laptop began to crackle if it comes from external speakers. Today everything has become more complicated - if you listen to music, watch videos, then everything is ok. And if there are notifications, the sound of a VK message, the sound of any errors, then this is what is distorted. If you connect headphones, then everything is ok.

Answer 1

Maybe the "amplification" pulled up to the maximum?

Answer 2

Control Panel -\u003e Sound -\u003e Select the laptop audio and click Properties -\u003e Advanced tab.
We look for the default Format to be at least 24 bits (click check at different selected frequencies).
Also, some speakers may crackle at the maximum volume setting (you need to check whether they crackle at a volume level of up to 80-90%).
