    Plantronics Audio 478 Heasets (Crackle) after Win10 Major May Patch


    The other day I finally got around to manually loading the Win10 Major May patch and subsequent updates. Aside from having to disable Win10 from over-writing my Nvidia drivers, my Plantronics 478's, that has always worked flawlessly, are now crackling/popping in my browsers (watching videos, Edge, Chrome and FF).

    VLC player and other videos/music devices seem fine (it does happen with Win Movies and TV player, but on my browsers, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, when watching YouTube videos or embedded videos in general, there is an annoying crackle/popping sound. I've unplugged the headsets, removed them from the Win10 Sound listing and rebooted. I've re-connected them and did a fresh uninstall/re-install of Firefox. I've made adjustments in the Control Panel, both with Enhancements and without and the crackling/pop is still there. It's kind of semi-intermittent. I'm not having issues with Discord or while playing games. No issues when editing (play back) in Sony Vegas Pro either.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. This only started happening after all the updates.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Crackling audio. Skyrim + other games

    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?
