What could be the cause of crackling in the headphones?
2 days ago everything was normal, it worked as usual, I just listened to music, watched videos from YouTube at work.
On the trail. day I turn on the music and I hear a crackle and now I think the blood will go from my ears, I googled what could be.
I checked the headphones and from the rear port of the PC - there is a crack, I have speakers turned on there and they also crack. I left for 2 hours and everything became normal, I'm so ok. The next day, the crash returned and I was already starting to try methods (didn’t reinstall the drivers) such as turning the driver on and off with restarting the PC, after that my PC stopped seeing at all that the headphones were connected and now I’m sitting without sound. A friend told me if there is a crack - something burned out in the board. But after all, the PC works fine, just a crash and advised to kill Windows - which I doubt will help. Who can share an idea what could be the reason for this cod?
