Problem: static (popping crackling) during playback of sound files. ie - music and video
It goes away with a reboot (generally) and comes back after a day or so of use.
Pertinent Gear:
Motherboard: MSI z87x-GD65
CPU: i5-4670K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
Motherboard audio is Realtek ALC1150 and bundles itself with the software as well. Here is what I have done so far to check and try to solve the issue.
1. Checked headphone connection and checked via back port instead of front USB panel. Still got static.
2. Checked other sound equipment: HDMI to monitor = static as well. stand alone speakers = static as well.
3. Updated BIOS and all software. ie. downloaded the latest driver from MSI website for MOBO Realtek Audio. - installed = no change, still static.
4. Check audiodg.exe - using 4-5% CPU @ about 17,000 kilobytes. Went to playback - properties on sound devices and went to enhancements. No options there but selected disable all. = audiodg.exe still uses same resources and still get static.
5. Went to Realtek website and downloaded the latest drivers direct from them and installed = still get static.
6. Tried to disable all other sound software - sound blaster, etc. = still getting static.
7. tried a hot fix for audiodg.exe leakage from microsoft. Told it doesnt apply to this computer = still static.
8. Ran DPC latency checker to see if driver conflict = nothing high or red spiked- so no conflict.
Right now, out of ideas, but would like to fix this irritating problem.
With as many forum posts on other places that I have seen I don't think it is tied to the motherboard being defective. Seems to be more of a software issue of some type, or driver related.
