Build:

i5 6600K - not OC'd

ASUS Z170-A

G.Skill Ripjaws 2x8GB 3000mhz

 

Whenever i enable the XMP profile in the BIOS (running the latest version) then whenever i play music on my computer i get a crackling/pop noise in my speakers. I'm using a DAC for my speakers. But when i disable the XMP profile the crackling/pop noise goes away. 

 

Those are the settings with the XMP profile.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

The sound might be electronic noise generated by the ATX 12V power input crosstalking with the audio output to the DAC. Just putting that out there.

 

What's your PSU?

 

Try disconnecting the speakers from the DAC and plug them into the onboard audio. Resume the XMP profile and see if the crackling continues.
