Hello!
My 2 year old custom built PC is causing me problems. The audio is crackling and distorted. I have automatically and manually updated my audio drivers and also tried different headsets. I still get a crackling sound. Especially when I listen to music with a heavy bass the distortion and crackling sounds become more noticeable.
I happened to have an Astro TR mixamp lying around. Plugging that in and connecting my earphones to the mixamp fixes the problem. However I don't want to "have to" use a mixamp in order to fix a problem that my relatively new PC is having.
I was thinking that maybe the sound card of my mobo is faulty. I'm no PC expert and hope I do not have to disassemble my entire PC and RMA my mobo
OS: Windows 10
Mobo: Asus Z170-A
GPU: GTX 1060OC
Thank you guys in advance!
