How to fix the annoying XPS 13 Static Noise/Audio
Lately, the audio driver on some of the new XPS 13's have been giving some weird problems, as most of us are aware of. The sound plays very static-y and noisy whenever an audio is played. Some may start thinking something is wrong with their speakers. However, on these models, it's probably a software issue. As far as I know, there isn't an official fix for it yet, however, until we await this, here is a simple workaround that I've found to work and you can try it too.
1. First, hit start and search for 'Dell Audio'.
2. In the application, go to the Speaker/Headphone section and then into the Default Format sub-section.
3. From the screenshot above, change the format you currently have, to a higher one. If it is already set to the highest one, then change it to a lower one. That's All!
This should temporarily fix the problem, until an official fix is available. However, sometimes this fix doesn't always stay, and you may have to come back and do it again from time to time, but it's the best we have for now. Good luck!
Other possible fixes
Some persons have gotten lucky by simple uninstalling and reinstalling their audio drivers or simply updating them. Some have also been lucky with a simple restart, so please try what you could, and if nothing else works, it could possibly be a hardware problem, and you can warranty the item if you're lucky!
