Oh my lord, thank you.
I was getting very frustrating with the crackling/popping in my headset.
This fixed it entirely and still sounds amazing.
I had to right click and show disabled devices in my recording tab. Put it through stereo mix.
EDIT: I like to use my speakers and my headset at the same time, weird I know right?
However, confirmed I can do this with Virtual Audio Cable and it still gets rid of the crackling and distortion.
