Audio popping with ryzen 5500

[LOST TALE]

I'm getting audio popping after a few (2-3) hours of use with all 3 bioses that support the ryzen 5500 on my MSI b450 a pro. I never had this issue for years with my ryzen 2600.

 

So what's more likely? my motherboard is a piece of shit because of its shit bios options or my cpu is?

Have you tried downloading the audio driver for that motherboard?

If you google it (Cezanne audio crackle/pop) it seems to be a common report and one of the 'fixes' was to set your primary PCI-E to use only 8 lanes. I'd give that a try if the option exists.

its BIOS and chipset drivers usually, bet op updated neither?

(or at least one of those)

 Did you update chipset drivers though? 

 

From amd or from msi?

its a pretty terrible mobo but audio should not be an issue with the right (chipset) drivers.

 

 

What does "popping" mean btw, like crackling i suppose?

increasing soc voltage to 1.150v in latest bios fixed it. I tried older compatible bios's reducing pci speeds, vddd voltage, etc even disabling hd audio but the one thing that did it is icnreasing infinity fabric voltage. I can now try to lower it but the problem is resolved. It's been like 84h now without an issue and I rolled back all other fixes leaving only this soc voltage increase (which wasn't good enough by itself, u need to select amd overclocking for soc, then select soc voltage again and not vddp)

ah i see... crazy fix, at least it was something in BIOS.

 

it's weird cause whenever i got this crackling thing I just updated chipset driver and boom, fixed!
