when i start a game or something that requires graphics card to start working my headphones start making crackling noise. When i am on desktop the are no crackling sounds. This happens only when my graphics card starts working. The crackling doesnt happen when i plug my headphones to the rear panel, it only does when i plug it into front panel !!!
