Hi, the top one appears to be this:
Driver Description: C-Media Audio Interface Driver (WDM) by C-Media
ASUS Xonar DG Audio Interface driver
HTO CLARO Audio Interface Driver
And if you search generally for crackle/stutter/pop Xonar you do get a lot of results... I know you said you'd disabled the sound card.
You can by all means try the motherboard drivers.. I would also suggest it's worth researching people with Xonar sound cards.
It may be that some ASUS configurations are prone to this problem with Win 10..
