Crackling sounds everytime I touch the computer or randomly

In the middle of the gig, Traktor started playing crackling sounds when touching touchpad of the laptop. It occurs only when fader for any channel is up.

Afterwards, I tried removing Traktor 4 and installing 3, disabling everything from device manager you can think of, playing with latency settings, turning off discrete graphics, etc.

I can't resolve the problem.

I used it for a year without any single problem and it started by itself tonight.

HP Victus 16-r0024nm Intel i5 13500 Windows 11

Traktor S4 MK3

Few versions of Traktor tried.

Laptop is very capable as I use it for power electronics design duties and it still doesn't stutter there.

    LatencyMon results. I tried everything I found on Google but no luck.

    It looks like the USB driver is giving you those CPU spikes. Fader being up let's you hear the issue but it most likely happens even with faders at 0% position.

    Check the power plan and try to disable the "USB Selective Suspend" setting. Also check your CPU min and Max speeds. If not set both to 97% or so. (not 100%)

    It sadly didn't help. I can't get what's wrong, 1500$ machine is unusable for Traktor. I heard I should try disabling C states and SpeedStep but it's locked out in HP BIOS as there's no option offered. What bugs me is that it worked perfectly before.

    I managed to disable them via dedicated software, they weren't problem it's exactly the same still.
