Hi, There is a crackle sound in my headphones when i play games or when i open a program, its really anoying and I tried alot of things.
What I have tried :
-Changing the sound format and disable enhancements
-Updating my soundcard driver, also tried the windows one
-Clean instal my Gpu driver (397.64) removed all other drivers with ddu also tried 390.77
-Updated my BIOS
-Updated my LAN driver, disable my lan card, installed an older version
-Updated my usb drivers, tried removing all my usb components one by one
-Updated my chipset driver
-diable my line ins
-playing games offline (disabled card)
-tried different headphones, audio jack
-tried connecting my headphones in my blue yeti (usb to 3.5mm)
-set bios to default, removed asus multicore, intel speedstep
-sfc /scannow found nothing
-dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth ok
-Advanced disk cleanup with cleanmgr
-disabled all other drives
-removed intel rapid storage
-removed realtime protection (windows defender)
and more
(maby something running in the background?)
this is my pc : My Custom Build 2016 - SamPa77's Saved Part List - Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker Canada on windows 10
This is with the default bios + TPUII : 1 min youtube video, 2 mins of WoW, 5 mins of Unigine Valley (no video problems at all)
CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

CPU SPEED
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reported CPU speed: 3504 MHz
Measured CPU speed: 1 MHz (approx.)
Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.
WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 767.707538
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2.176775
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 765.661877

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
Process with highest pagefault count: none
