Hey guys, so i'm having an issue as the title says. For some reason when i use the pc i get random audio crackles and break in the audio. I have even re-installed windows 11 and went back to 10, the issue remained. Re-install windows 11 same issue. Took my pc apart and went back to air cooled, same issue. changed cpu, gpu and ram same issue. Tried other drivers, bios and went back to stock bios settings/ no OC. Nothing works. anyone else having/had this issue and found a fix?

Does it get worse or change with CPU/GPU load?

usually audio cable loose or getting interference, or just time for new speakers.
done a lot of unnecessary things I think.

If you are running any sort of overclock, remove it, run everything at stock and see if it fixes it, also........which motherboard ? I seem to remember a few boards causing audio or having audio problems and fixing it with bios updates.
if you read the post you would see that i removed the OC and my mobo is in my sig MSI Z590 Gaming Edge Wifi with latest bios
However i seem to have fixed it by using a usb to usb c adapter and plugging it into my front usb c header. It would seem it was an interference issue for some reason even though i don't use wifi or have any other wireless devices near by. Now my overclock is back and everything is working fine. Just need to sort out the stupid nvidia driver that has done something to my gpu since the latest update.
