Windows 10: Audio Crackle from downloading Ableton Live and Bloons TD 6

I have had audio crackle in the past when I downloaded Ableton Live 10 now removed. I recently download Bloons TD 6 and the audio crackle occurred again. The crackle doesn't even happen when the game is open. The crackle happens when I have a livestream open or watching a YouTube video. I have since removed Bloons TD 6 from my pc and all audio issues are gone. This past week i reset my pc and fully updated all drivers. I followed this thread before with no success Windows 10 Crackling Audio - Microsoft Community . Any help would be appreciated.

Audio Crackling

Recently, I've noticed that the audio with my speakers and headphones is "crackling". It doesn't seem to matter what the volume is set at, nor what program I'm running. If I'm playing a game, the audio crackles. If I'm listening to music, the audio crackles.
I've tried downloading/updating my audio drivers, but nothing seems to help.

 

Problems authorizing Ableton Live 10

Necessary description

I have recently bought Ableton Live, and I installed it as suggested, but: when I press on the "authorize with ableton.com" button, it takes me to my account, but I just see a download for Ableton Live 10 (Standard), I have already downloaded it after buying it.
I installed Firefox, but there is no way at all, to make it the default browser. There is something off with Windows... Firefox does not show up in the default browsers.

I went ahead with the offline activation using the .auz file, but Windows needs to set a default program to open it, but after browsing my PC and choosing ableton as a default, it does not open and then it drops the same message, something like: Windows needs to have a default program to open that. I opened the file from LIVE like a new set live, but Live said the file was damaged.

I tried again with the online authorization using Internet explorer and Edge, which are the only programs that I can set as default browsers appart from Chrome, I saw a screen that said it was connecting to LIVE but after a while, it said: time out, try again.

I have tried almost everything except formating my PC and downloading Ableton Live again, I have re-installed Live three times, I re-installed Firefox two times, and I have followed everything, and there seems to be no way to authorize Live. With export and saving deactivated Ableton works fine, but I can't authorize it.

Any help is much appreciated

Aditional information:

Recently my PC ran into automatic recovery after it failed booting during a Windows actualization, I took the desktop to technical support and they restored it without formating it, they just inserted a USB into my PC that contained Windows, so windows could find there the missing files and repaired itself.
I will include the OS information in case it helps:

Edition: Windows 10 Pro

Version: 1803

Operative System version: 17134.472.

System tipe: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
