I have ahd this A1Wireless for about a year now and never had issues before. Now, out of nowhere, my headphones sound terrible. They will produce unbearable static, popping sounds, and constantly beep like they are trying to be paired. I have them connected via USB-C on the only port on my PC, so I can't test different ports. I have tried to wire them in with the charger cord, no fix. This happens in games, watching YouTube, movies, anything. Literally as I am writing this, with no audio playing in my headphones, they are still beeping like crazy. I do not get it. I ran a LatencyMon test, will post results here - LMT
Here is everything I have done:

-check for mobo drivers
-check for windows driver updates
-mess with the GG engine, no fix.
-disable sonar, no fix.
-Try different headphones, I have no issues with other headphones.
-Check for bios updates, no fix.
-disable exclusive mode for them in windows sound settings.

All hardware will develop a fault if given enough time. Now, manufacturers expect hardware to last X amount of months or years. And if it does not, they offer warranty.

Here, RMA your headset, if you have any warranty left.
If not, buy a new headset. And might want to switch model/brand as well, since it could be model/brand issue (poor reliability).
