I don't know if this will work for you, but it did for me on a Gigabyte motherboard. Uninstall the realtek drivers with the speakers plugged in, restart the computer keeping them plugged in and when it comes back on Windows should download an audio driver, which is different to the ones from Realtek. Worked perfectly for me.

If that doesn't work, I would guess it's the wireless card. Wireless internet can cause the cracking.

Hope I helped ;)
