Been having sound problems the last two weeks in games and while watching films on my 3 month old Sound blaster z, I get cracking and popping noises that is driving me mad and has made gaming unplayable for me.
Tried everything from reinstalling Win 10 to updating drivers/Checking Bios/Cables, Removing one speaker at a time and the noises are still there, Logitech 5.1 speaker set up (1 year old).
I even tried removing the card and going though the on board sound but I still had the popping noises so its not a faulty card.
I am now at a loss on what else I can do to sort the problem out except maybe buying new speakers but I am reluctant to do this as I have recently spent a small fortune on a MSI 1080X and a top of the range G Synch so funds are a bit low at the moment.
Do you guys know of anything else I can try before I throw the towel in ?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
