Windows 10: Headphones suddenly started to make static noise

Hello, so yesterday my headphones (HyperX Cloud Alpha) were working fine with no issues. Then today they make some sort of noise, as if they are starting up and then there is crackling when any audio is playing. But once the audio stops, the crackling noise disappears.

I then tried these headphones on Mac and they worked great with no noise whatsoever.

I have a dell desktop and I even tried uninstalling the headphones in device manager, but whenever I clicked detect new hardware changes, the headphones always came back up on the device manager even with the headphones not plugged in.

Could someone help me out? Thanks

Loud Static noise from headphone jack

Starting very suddenly, I have a weird issue with my laptop.

I was listening to audio on headphones plugged into the headphone jack when suddenly, very loud static noise started playing over the actual audio. After about 30 seconds of that Windows even crashed saying something about an 'apc index mismatch'

Ever since then, the very loud static noise plays on the headphones when they are plugged in. The built-in speakers work just fine. I have also tried with a different pair of headphones, with the same static noise.

Things I have tried:

Windows Update

Looking for driver updates in device manager

Windows Sound Problems Troubleshooter

If anyone has any idea how to solve this or what might be causing it, I would be very happy.

 

White noise/static from all headphones in laptop

Yesterday my headphone started making this loud white noise/static sound while plugged into my ASUS laptop. I tried changing headphones and the noise still persists, but when unplugged the speakers sound fine. None of the enhancements are on, the mic is
turned off, and I've tried reinstalling the audio driver through troubleshooting to no avail. Is there anything else I can do?

 

Loud Static noise from headphone jack

Hi this is Wil an independent advisor. Since you have mentioned that other headsets are producing the same static noise. Lets try to check the playback settings. Try to disable all enhancements. Just follow the instructions below and kindly reply back
if you need further help.

Step 1. Right click the speaker icon on the Taskbar and select Playback devices to open Sound settings. Double click your headphones device to open the Properties.

Step 2. Choose the Levels tab and then adjust the Microphone slider to 0. Click Apply.

Step 3. Go to Enhancements tab and then check the Disable all sound effects. Click OK twice to exit.
