My headphones on my computer have a really low volume and when I try and turn them up eventually they will start to crackle and cause static.

The headphones work fine on my laptop and phone. The weird thing is sometimes ill hear like a pop and the headphones will work perfectly fine on the computer again as if they have just been initialised or something.

Does anyone have any ideas? this problem is driving me up the damn wall :/ - also note I've tried every possible solution that is currently out there like turn off enhancements and reinstall drivers and such.

Yeah i tried another set of headphones and the same thing occurred which made me think the jack was dodgy. however when I try the headphones in the front audio port the same thing happens.

I found a fix which was just horribly retarded and I really didnt think much of it. I fixed my audio by using compressed air and cleaned the jack and motherboard, on reboot the audio was working as it used to.
