Hi so I recently realised that when listening to music the there would be a crackling/popping sound in the background but restarting the system would fix it until I had shut the system down. That's when I realised that the fast-startup option was the cause of the issue so I turned the option off and there is no crackling now. The only problem is that I want to hibernate my system sometimes so I don't have to reopen my work and when I do this it messes up the audio again. The only workaround I could find to stop the issue is to disable and start the graphic driver every time I turned the system back on from hibernation but I don't want to have to do this every time I turn my system back on. So I'm guessing the problem is that the Nvidia display driver doesn't like being put into hibernation when fast-startup is enabled causing a error with the audio which is only fixed when the driver is fully restarted. Does any one know how to fix this issue I have updated my graphic driver on several occasions and this hasn't helped.
Any other questions please ask
