Windows 10: Popping/Crackling Noises in my headphones when watching videos or playing games, etc.

I just got back and I get on my PC to find out that when I watch videos or play games I hear a Popping noise or crackling. This is really damn annoying. I have tried the follow as of now:



(1) Running Windows Troubleshooter

(2) Tweaking audio output device settings(lowering sampling rate, disabling all enhancements, disabling exclusive mode)

(3) Updating/Manually changing drivers

(4) System restore(it worked once but the problem came back one week later, then reverting the system back no longer fix the problem)


I dont know whats causing this, because I Have tried both my front jacks and my rear jacks. My headphones work perfectly on my PS4.

Best Regards

:)

 

Crackle/Popping Sound When Playing Audio + Stuttering Video Games

I just built a PC:

• ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H GAMING
  
• Intel i7 8700k
  
• EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 FTW 8 GB
  
• Corsair RMx Series, RM750x 750w
  
• Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD
  
• Seagate 2 TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD
  
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200 MHz
  
• Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
  

Not currently OC'd, default specs.

Whenever I play audio (YouTube, foobar, VLC player, video games) I can hear a popping/crackling sound whenever I start or stop it. It's like the small crackle sound you hear when you plug in headphones/speakers. This also happens during playback, although not randomly – it's usually a specific part of the audio/video file that causes the popping. I can even find the particular "pop" spot and replay it.

Additionally, whenever I'm playing a video game I get random frame skips at random intervals. This happens in all my video games – WoW, Subnautica, Fallout 4, Dark Souls 3.

Originally I had the ASUS Prime z370-A which I thought to be the issue. But I replaced it with the ROG Strix and I can still hear the popping/crackling and the frame skips still happen.

Does anyone have experience with this issue? This is my first build over $1k and I'm very distressed that I cannot find the problem. Could it be the hard drives? RAM, maybe?
