Windows 10: Having sound issues, maybe caused by Chrome?

Seems like I am now experiencing a lot of clicking/popping and sound issues whenever I am trying to run a music app (like Pandora, or even Amazon Music), and running Pogo.com at the same time. I thought it was only with Firefox, so I switched to Chrome, but still have the same thing. Is it me or Windows 10 (my current OS) or Chrome or what? Maybe this isn't the right place to address this, but figured id try anywhere to start.

Oh, and by the way, this is my first post, so be kind LOL

Much love

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
