Basically every time I plug in my speakers (Razer Ferox) or my headset (HyperX Cloud Stinger) they make a very annoying crackling noise. This isn't too bad but when any sound starts to come through it turns into a terrible constant static noise like if you were to turn an old cable tv on to a channel with no service. But as soon as i unplug the headphones/speaker it stops and the audio works fine. Only my external speakers are being effected, and it doesn't seem like there is any trigger. They make this noise even when no programs are running and while the laptop is rebooting.
Ive tried following other forums and pretty much all of them said the same thing, uninstall audio drivers and reinstall them. I've done that quite a few times along with uninstalling Nahamic 2 and reinstalling it after the drivers are installed and reboot.
I'm not sure what the problem is, could it be a hardware issue? Thanks for the help in advance!

When you plugged it in, did you plug it in all the way? Also, your device manager is showing the Audio 3 device as High Definition Audio Device which means it's missing a driver. Can you check its VEN ID & DEV ID?
