Weird Issue - Tapping Sound

[Dirk Diggler]

I'm getting a weird issue where I can hear a distortion through my headphones, it sounds like a tapping sound. It just seems to appear randomly, and if I reboot then it goes away for a while.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

• AKG K702 Headphones
• FiiO USB DAC-E10
• X470-i
• Latest driver is installed from MoBo website

I swapped usb ports and it seems to have resolved the issue.
