@backwardsflow happens a lot in laptops, espec if your headphones are meant to use a 1/4" adapter like mine
@backwardsflow a lot of it revolves around the actual connector being meant more for the OEM headphones and the fact that wireless headphones are super popular otherwise. I have my headphones running through my audio interface now and I don't get any of the crackle that I used to
@ADA_SIX i would do that except my audio interface is 1) kinda trash and 2) kept at very specific settings for actually producing stuff
