Windows 10: Really need help! My windows sounds cracking/popping

I've searching around the internet for days and I still can't figure out what's going on. I've installed and uninstalled most of my drivers and nothing happens. Also tried using an external sound card.
Here's my LatencyMon stats:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CONCLUSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:06:30 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Computer name: DESKTOP-K9MQD2B

OS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, build: 18363 (x64)

Hardware: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., H170 PRO GAMING

CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K CPU @ 3.80GHz

Logical processors: 4

Processor groups: 1

RAM: 8132 MB total





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CPU SPEED

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reported CPU speed: 3792 MHz



Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.



WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.



Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 3132,30

Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2,551819



Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 3096,0

Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 0,849308





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED ISRs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.



Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 5910,107595

Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation



Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0,060560

Driver with highest ISR total time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation



Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0,118404



ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 86696

ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 2

ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 17

ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED DPCs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.



Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 3172,002110

Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: ndis.sys - Especificación de interfaz de controlador de red (NDIS), Microsoft Corporation



Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0,036511

Driver with highest DPC total execution time: rspLLL64.sys - Resplendence Latency Monitoring and Auxiliary Kernel Library, Resplendence Software Projects Sp.



Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0,144643



DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 1282049

DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 12

DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 3

DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 6

DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.



NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.



Process with highest pagefault count: svchost.exe



Total number of hard pagefaults 635

Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 270

Number of processes hit: 18

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

 

Windows 10 popping sound in speakers

Hi,

I have the exact same issue and I went through all the steps suggested above but none of them helped. I get the popping sound when any kind of audio is on. Even when external speakers or headphones are plugged in.

Do you have any other suggestions what to do?

Thanks

 

Crackling/Popping sound Windows 10

Hello,

I request you to try the methods below:

Method 1:

Hardware Troubleshoot

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Sound. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Audio.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
• Run the playing Audio troubleshooter.

Method 2:

Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your sound card.

I request you to follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Sound card Drivers

• Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
• Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
• Search for the Sound driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then
  remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.
• After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.

Step 2: Go to the Computer or Sound Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Sound Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

I also request you to follow the below article:
