Hi Guys,

Recently I Purchased an MSI GE62 Gaming Laptop, and i can't really fault it other than the fact, whenever I play games on steam (Havn't tested non-steam related games) I have a horrible crackling sound.

I Do not get these crackling sounds when a game is not open, for example when i play youtube or twitch i do not get the popping, its only when trying to play a steam game.

If somebody could help me i would be much appreciated.
 
Solution
Obviously you didnt look hard enough. Try again.

Find your model number. There is a few in that list, I do not know which one is yours.

If Audio doesnt have its own section for drivers, then it might be included in the chipset drivers.

But I have an MSI GE17 laptop and I know that had its own section for Audio...

Yes i get the same with headphones
 
Try some benchmarks with music playing in the background. If it persists only when under high load I would say its either a poor power design in the laptop or a hardware fault. Popping and crackling under high load can be a sign of interference from the power circuitry.
