    Audio Popping USB headset


    Ever since I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, I've been experiencing brief audio popping/cracking noise. Sometimes I could go an hour and not hear anything, other times I hear a pop every 30 seconds. There has to be sound playing for the popping to occur. Its brief, but can get annoying when listening to music.

    I have tried many things including:
    -Updated drivers (Realtek HD Audio)(AMD GPU drivers)(Realtek Network Card)
    -Tried disabling Realtek HD Audio since it doesn't effect USB audio
    -I do not have a WiFi card so its not that
    -Its not a DPC Latency issue; No spikes from LatencyMon
    -Disabled sound enhancements from playback devices
    -Its not the headphones themselves as they work fine on other sources
    -I tried an old set of ear buds that weren't USB and they seemed to work fine so it may just be USB audio.

    I do have a Dell XPS 435t/9000 that's about 4 years old with some hardware changes like PSU/GPU etc., maybe its the motherboard? (Though that's kind of a stretch). Dell says that certain computers don't support windows 10 upgrade, but I feel like that's just so they don't hold you responsible if you do upgrade, as everything else works perfectly.

    Regardless, I'd appreciate any help with this issue.

    Well about 2 weeks of looking around I can't find any solution to this issue. I've discovered though that windows media player doesn't seem to make popping noises, so I'm assuming it has something to do with video/audio. I'm going to assume the issue may be AMD drivers and just wait for an update as I have tried virtually everything else at this point.
