I have just installed an ASUS PCE-N15 wireless network card on my ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming / Aura motherboard on my new Desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro.

Everytime I listen to YouTube, Spotify, or basicaly any music and while playing games the sound will start to break up like robot or distorted whenever I have network activities.

ASUS, really? I'm pretty sure it's that since it has a built-in SupremeFX sound chip and the PCI-E slot is just next to that chip. Is this the reason why my sound keep making funny noise?

Just so you know, I have installed the latest drivers for all my hardware. How Ironic ASUS making 2 separate products which can't be used together! I think I'll opt for a new nano usb adapter instead. I use this wireless network card just because it has 2 antennas but I need to know that what cost the problem before I change my setup.
