Windows 10: Surface Laptop 4 - Audio Crackling

Hello.Whenever I am listening to some sort of audio, I can hear a crackling sound coming off the speakers. It is not present when I am not working on my laptop, just when I press the keyboard or use my touchpad. Any suggestions? Support is not responding. Thanks in advance

Audio from laptop speaker crackles

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop that starting making crackling noises in it's built in speakers last week. It makes the noise when playing any kind of sound. I ran the audio troubleshooter and nothing was found. I rolled back a display
driver update I got a few days before hand but it was still making the noise. I then uninstalled the audio driver and restarted my laptop. When it came back on, the driver came back by itself and it stopped making the crackling noises. But tonight it started
doing it again. I ran the troubleshooter again and it suggested turning off audio enhancements but nothing is checkmarked except "immediate mode". I removed the checkmark but the sound is still crackling.
