Hey there, awesome article.

So I have been getting this issue where in games i get this audio glitch/pop (you all know what i mean) for a split second. It's recently been getting worse. I got a new video card. I got a evga gtx 980 sc. I had a 7970 ghz edition before. I'l include the stats at the end.

Anyway the popping now happens in netflix and in games like watch dogs when driving on the highways fast. Really noticeable on a bike. The video doesn't get choppy or anything jus the audio glitches. It doesn't seem to affect skype calls which i'm in during the gaming.

I did a trace and have a bunch of info. Here goes.

Re: Audio "Popping"

Update: I have uninstall all chipset drivers/usb/audio/video drivers and used video driver uninstaller as well; then reinstalled from asus site. the result has not changed. The audio will pop even when i'm watching a blu-ray and nothing else.
 
Re: Audio "Popping"

Check your physical cable connections of your speakers to the PC....sometimes a loose or not fully seated cable can cause some irregularities in audio.

It's a usb headset.. I have also tried the 3.5mm headphone jacks on the board, same results. It's not the headphones or their connection.
