Audio pop

[vong]

I've got a nasty pop/crackle coming one of my speakers and I'm 100% sure it's coming from the pc. My setup is pc > Bluesound Node 2i > Dynaudio xeo 20

 

Audio seems fine when I'm streaming music from my phone or tablet. Using bluetooth from the pc also seems fine although I think I do hear tiny sound from the same speaker. I've tried updating the realtek driver multiple times but still the same. Using latest bios too. Any fixes? I would use bluetooth from the pc to the node but it has a delay so no good for videos/games.

Sounds like a broken connection to me. Maybe the wire or connector got broken or worn down?

Honestly, I think it's the motherboard because it's a refurb. Didn't happen on the old mobo and I've tried different cables. I can only use optical.

if it's the audio jack that's screwed you could possibly go though usb or pcie soundcard but if it's the audio chip I don't really know. I'm fairly new to PC's and Audio so I'm not that big brain. Just trying to help out
