Hi. Since about two days ago I've been having some pretty strange issues regarding audio that began happening out of nowhere. Whenever I'm listening to music or watching a video with audio, there are crackling sounds that happen quite frequently and I can't seem to find a fix or the cause. This happens on both my speakers and headphones. Sometimes the crackling is very bad and sometimes not so much, but always there. I've tried updating and re-installing audio drivers and that hasn't solved anything.
The other problem I have is that videos tend to de-sync after a while, with the audio coming before the video.Videos start off normally and slowly de-sync over time, no matter the length of the video. If I leave the video paused for a little while or refresh the page it goes back to normal, but loses sync again after a while. I can't seem to find any solutions to this problem either, but I'm guessing they are related since they both started happening on the same day. I've tried running LatencyMon but that hasn't shown any problems, so I'm really lost for ideas on what the problem could be.
Specs:
Intel i5 6600k @ 4.3Ghz
MSI GTX 1060 @ 2ghz
HyperX 16GB DDR4 @ 2133
Z170 Pro Gaming MOBO
EVGA Nova 550W Gold PSU
Genius GX Gaming Speakers - SW-G2.1 1250
I am in now way a computer expert so any help is appreciated, thanks.
