So, I noticed that when I would play music using ANY application while browsing the internet with ANY browser, I would get intermittent pops and cracks. I have spent over 10 hours researching this issue over several days and I have only been able to minimize the issue slightly. I am attaching several documents as requested in a post about required info when posting. I did not go through all the steps as it started to go beyond my skill level. I hope this is enough for someone to help me identify my issue and fix it.
As an FYI, I also stream on Twitch using StreamElements OBS Live! Opening this application causes the majority of the latency spikes while LatencyMon is running.
All drivers have been updated.
Please help!
