Crackling noise?

I just recently bought an Asus Xonar Phoebus sound card with my Audio Technica ath-ad900x headphones, and after my computer has been on for 8-9 hours ( I open task manager the second i hear the first few crackles)  It starts cracking and popping, almost like a CD skipping. And the crack/popping is like every 3 seconds. It's horribly annoying and I'm hella pissed that I spent 200$ on something and it doesn't work as I expected lol. Up until the 8-9 hour mark, it works perfectly, that I know of atleast. I've re-installed drivers, and changed the location of the PCI slot its plugged into.

 

Should I just return it? I bought it on amazon and I have like 20 more days that I can send it back for, but I dunno if I'll have the same issue.

 

Side note: My headphones sound sub-par without the power from the sound card, so I hope I can get a quick solution so I can use them lol.

 

This is my system right now incase you need it:

I'm upgrading to 2 or 3 way sli evga acx 780's aswell, is 1050watt enough? I'm assuming it is for 3 way.

Yeah, I don't notice it at all until my comps been on for like 8-9hrs, once I restart it goes away. But having to restart like that is annoying, it shouldn't be like that in the first place :(

I was going to suggest reinstalling the drivers, but you already did that.

 

I'd return it and get a fiio e10 w/ no stupid drivers to worry about.

Will work for electronic components and parts

I'd suggest buying a headphone amp that's USB input. . . . Anything Jack into comp will have interference somehow due to the comp's electronics

I was having a similar issue on my Sound Blaster Z card. I fixed this by going into Windows Control Panel, Sound, Playback Tab, Right Click on your speaker output, properties, advanced. Under default format mine was set to 24bit 48000 Hz, I changed this to 24bit 96000 Hz. For me this resolved the issue.

There was a thread about this on the old vbulletin forum.  He had to return his too.

You can get interference over USB as well - I did and had to switch to optical.

About my issue, is it possible my PSU is the problem? I ran into someone else's card doing the same thing, and my graphics card has some coil whine aswell, could it be the psu and not the sound card?
