Unfortunately, crackling, popping and motorboating are all too common problems on a lot of systems, no just HP.
You may have to revert to an older driver or a non-hp: Either Microsoft or OEM from the chip manufacturer
discussion about realtek is here
I was unable to stop the motorboating through the NVidia audio driver to my monitor speakers as it was caused by the temperature sensing controls. If I disabled the temp controls on my Area51, the popping went away (mostly) but the motherboard and video card heated up. I ended up getting Bluetooth speakers.
What you can try
Popping when using headphone jack?
Popping increases when playing a game?
Popping disappears when using Bluetooth speakers
Please provide the product ID so I can look for different drivers that might work.

@jumenwoke -- for your All-In-One, are you using the internal speakers, or have you connected external speakers?
If the latter, do those speakers show the same symptoms when connected to some other computer (or to the headphone jack in your smart-phone) ?
Or, do a different set of external speakers show the same symptoms? If so, it's probably not your speakers, although it could possibly be a poor connection where the speakers plug-in to the "audio output" socket on your computer. Wiggle that connector, to see if that makes any "scratchy" noise.
