Is there a way to repair the audio of an Xbox 360?

My Xbox 360 has serious audio issues. Whenever I start it up I get a persistent crackling noise.
I've tried two different HDMI cables so my guess is that there is something wrong internally. Does anyone here know if there's anything I can do on the inside of the machine to repair w/e the issue may be?

Try running the sound through the digital optical audio and see if the problem persists. I personally believe digital optical offers better sound fidelity.
Check your connections and make sure the end of the hdmi and power cord isn't damaged and if that doesn't fix it or if theres nothing wrong then see if you can look inside your xbox 360 and see if its faulty wiring...
