Audio Crackles During High GPU usage

Anonymous

I have been trying to use my audio in various ways during programs such as Photoshop and some games, and it always makes a crackling sound that drowns out the actual audio. Even when I use something like Windows Media Player for an MP3 file, something that according to Task Manager has 0 GPU usage, it makes this annoying sound. What can I do?
