Windows 10: Windows 10 Audio problem.

Hi,

For about 5 days now I have been having this issue with my audio, where if a sound plays be it windows/discord/steam I get a loud pop at the very start of the audio, it then plays fine. this video is a perfect example.

I have tried every troubleshooting guide there is, including reinstalling windowstwice making sure every driver is up to date, uninstalling windows audio and realtek and reinstalling the latest drivers.

I have made sure everything is set to maximum power, I have also been in the registry and changed idle times so the audio is not going to sleep.

I first started getting this issue with the sennhieser GSP 670, which I returned only to get the same issue, I refunded those and now have the Arctis pro+game dac. these have the exact same problem which leads me to believe the head is is not at fault.


This reddit thread is the same problem I am having but after a year, I do not think he was able to fix said problem.

I really have tried every known solution to this and now after exhausting all leads, I do not know what else to do.

Step 4. You may need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device, and then click the Uninstall button.
