Hi,

As above, I built my computer last week. It posted from the first try, but whenever I play demanding games, such as GTAV or Cyberpunk, my audio begins degrading, with crackling and popping. My microphone also begins cracking as well. I have tried using a different headset and am having the same issues.

The audio degradation steadily gets worse, until it reaches a peak and then my internet disconnects and the game typically crashes. I have tried reinstalling all motherboard audio drivers as well as Radeon graphics driver to no avail.

Can include dxdiag if needed.

Many thanks for any help, hoping its not a hardware issue but looking that way.
