Crackling noise on surround audio controller after update

[ImBumi]

Heyo,

 

As the title suggests, I'm getting this crackling noise anytime a sound is played using my Razer Surround Pro Audio Controller. This only started happening after I finally updated last night. Other audio outputs like regular realtek and even my monitor speakers sound fine.

 

From what I've been reading, this is only affecting surround sound audio. Anyone know a good fix for this?

 

Win 10 Pro, fully updated as of Apr. 23, 2021. Let me know if you need more info about my PC.

Yes its a well known issues with Razer Surround after windows update.

I got it fixed by running DPC LATENCY CHECKER in the background, i have no idea why but it fixed it.

I've heard about the same type of fix but with Bluestacks. Didn't want to do it because it just adds a lot of unnecessary lag. Is DPC Latency Checker any better?

 

It was just weird because this is the first time that it has happened to me. It does get patched eventually right?

Yes, its 100KB program and it won't affect anything as the name suggest.
