Recently I started noticing popping sounds at multiple frequencies (mostly higher frequencies) when playing audio. I don't know what caused it, but this is what I already tried:
What I have already tried after creating this thread:
I installed the razer sound drivers and now it masks the popping a little bit.
Is there anything else I can try?
I have now got a new graphics card to see if the GPU causes it, but I can't replace it until tomorrow.
Could it be the motherboard (3 year old)?
- Using a different audio port.
- Updating drivers.
- Updating BIOS.
- Disabled all unused sound ports.
- Installed windows again.
- Using different headset (regular in-ear headphones and razer kraken pro).
- Trying to get my DPC latency as low as possible.
- Bought a new sound card, but I still have the popping sound.
- Disconnecting keyboard and mouse to see if there was a driver conflict.
