try new drivers, if they are new drivers try older drivers, if that fails try the same thing on another computer - if that fails try to get your $$$ back.

Which program? is it only in traktor that you are getting the crackling noises? Have you tried itunes, if Itunes works, then what are you laptop specs, and what is the audio latency set to in traktor (if you are using traktor)?

another thing that really annoyed me was that the headphone output crackled as well. 😞

If the headphone output crackles too, my guess is that it is a latency problem. I’m no latency expert, but both outputs would be affected by latency problems.
Btw, my first guess when reading your problem was bad RCA’s/Output cables, or even a problem with whatever was producing the sound (stereo, PA, etc.) but since the headphones are doing it too, nevermind.
