| Poor contact in the cable | 32% | intermittent crackling sound |
| Driver issues | 28% | high frequency current sound |
| electromagnetic interference | 19% | constant buzzing |
| Audio hardware failure | 15% | Distortion/pop |
| Improper system settings | 6% | sudden volume noise |
2. Step-by-step solution
1. Basic inspection (solve 80% of common problems)
• Re-plug the audio cable (the 3.5mm interface needs to be fully inserted)
• Try changing the USB/audio interface
• Disconnect peripheral electronic devices (mobile phone/router, etc.)
