Well the drivers are probably just the basic built in W7 drivers.
You need to find out what kind of audio chip you have. From the user manual or looking up your computer model on line and looking at the specs etc. Then once you have the manufacturer and model number you can go to the manufacturers website and look for the REAL driver.
ok i did that.
i went to drivers: audio
clicked the only one there
and then downloaded it
correcT?
Reboot and then check to see if you still have that crackling noise.
Post back if more help needed.
Do you have a built in WIFI or a USB WIFI connector?
If USB try another location on the laptop.
