  1. Audio crackling and popping after update 1809


    Hi, sound from my Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 USB started crackling and popping after update 1809 was pushed onto my PC last month.


    I have tested the onboard Realtek ALC892 on my MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard and audio plays fine. I have also tested other USB audio devices, a Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury headset, and Sound BlasterAxx SBX 10 and they both play fine.


    I notice the USB audio devices that do work are using drivers that use the generic USBAUDIO.SYS driver even the driver installer package from Creative's website, while the Sound Blaster Omni that has audio crackling use Creative's propriety driver KSAUD.SYS.


    This led me to suspect it's a driver or software issue, but after contacting Creative, their tech support claims their driver dated in 2015 works perfectly with update 1809.


    I'd made the mistake of reinstalling a fresh 1809 thinking it would fix things and now can't rollback to 1803.


    Now the Sound Blaster Omni has been relegated to my laptop where it's still on update 1803 and 1809 is still unavailable on it, where it still works perfectly.


    I would like to use it on my PC again. If anyone has a solution, please help me. Thank you.

    :)

    USB headphones have never been kind to me. They always hiss, pop and crackle. The fact that you can hear it when no audio is being played suggests it's a power /connection issue.

    Do you have any 3.5mm or RCA based headphones you can try?

    Audio Pop/Stutter/Crackle When Stopping Audio


    I've been having this issue for the past two days, and I've tried everything to no avail.
    Basically this is the issue:
    I get a pop/crackle when I suddenly stop audio.
    What I'm running:

    • Schiit Uber Stack.
    • Win 10 PC.
    What I've tried:

    • Tried onboard audio, still get the problem.
    • Tried onboard audio on both my PC and laptop, still get the problem.
    • Tried my stack on both PC and laptop, still get the problem.
    • Tried using a DPC latency checker, everything seems fine there.
    • Tried different headphones just in case, wasn't the issue.
    • Tried changing audio format, still get the problem.
    • +literally tried 99 other things *Tongue

    That pop is happening when I suddenly stop the sound effect. I get that pop when a Windows notification shows up. My friend's voice on Discord also pops every couple of seconds (100% sure it's not his mic).
    Any help is appreciated!
    (Just to clarify, I made sure it's not a hardware issue, so something within Win 10 is screwing with me)

    I WILL LITERALLY PAYPAL ANYONE WHO FINDS ME A SOLUTION $10 *chuckle

    (Yup, I'm losing my mind and I'm that desperate lol)
