Audio crackling

[HeaT]

When I open a program or game with audio playing it cuts out and sounds like the system is going to hang. Some times It just sounds like crackling for a few seconds.

 

I've had this issue since upgrading my PC.

Specs:

 

5600x

B550-F Gaming

Strix 3080

Corsair vengeance rgb pro 16gb

 

I've used the onboard sound card and a creative sound blaster sound card and It still does it. I've also installed Windows 11 and the problem still happens on 11 but not as bad as windows 10. It don't sound like the system is going to crash.

 

Had this setup since 1st of Febuary. Anybody got any ideas what could be causing it?

And the headphones/speakers don't do this from other sources? Also if you were to record the desktop audio would it show up in that.

If i adjust the audio volumes in windows and move the slider up and down quickly it makes a strange crackling noise but If I record it and play it back I can't hear it.

 

I'm trying to record the sound when it sounds like the pc is going to crash but for some reason It's not making it ha. 

 

Used a different headset that uses USB and I couldn't hear any of the strange noises. Makes me wonder if the headset is at fault but why would that make the pc sound like its going to freeze.
