Audio Jack or Something Else?

[NineWorlds]

Hello, recently I've been hearing pops in my headset.

I didn't notice this till the other day when I loaded up Space Engineers.
During my session I could hear very audible pops and cracks. I thought this was maybe apart of the game. (Which to my knowledge it is)

I then decided to try another game. PlanetBase, since they are both ... space games I thought the audio would or could be slightly similar.

To no surprise I heard a pop every so often. not as bad as space engineers.
I closed the game down and loaded up a youtube video and listened to a music video.
No pops, or cracks atleast from what I can hear.

I loaded up planetbase again and the popping appeared. I unplugged my headset, and replugged it. The popping went away.
After this I loaded up space engineers but the popping was still there in that game, so I assume as I said that's just an audio bug on their side.

I'm going to test other games in the mean time but would like some feed back as to what it could be.

You may need to change the audio format to something else and try it
For example from like 16bit 44khz to 44khz 24bit, see which one works
