Nowadays when i play music or video on my Dell XPS (L501X), running Windows 8.1 at a higher volume, mostly above 60% it gives crack sounds. I have removed Dell Audio (Realtek Audio Driver 2.75) and now its running with microsoft audio driver but same issue persisted. I had installed Dell Audio again but it doesn't resolve my problem.

Try the High Definition Audio Codecs driver direct from Realtek, if you haven't already.
Realtek

Do you also get the noise with a headset? or is it just the speakers? which would lean toward a speaker problem.

    Sonar Platinum 64 bit recording studio software with MOTU 896Mk3 Hybrid recording interface unit.
I have already installed that driver, didn't help.
Its only with Dell inbuilt laptop speaker, No crack sound if i add an external speaker or headset.
Sometimes, If i make changes in the audio equalizer and reduce some field to -20 db, crack sounds stop coming, so does that mean when there is bass or particular frequency it produces crack sound
