I am using Asus Prime Z390-A mb (with latest bios).
Changing from power option from balanced to High perf does not seem to change anything.

Do you have the ASUS supplied Sonic Studio installed? If you do disable any options.
It also sounds like something, possibly in the startup, is causing this. I use my ASUS ROG Maximus VIII motherboard desktop for my recording studio so I keep it "plain" and minimum startup apps.
If it does it in Ubuntu that says its not a Windows problem and most likely a hardware problem on that motherboard. Can you get ASUS to replace it?
If I do remember correctly, my previous mb (z270A Prime) did exactly the same thing, also the one before that (Maximus VII Hero) but this one had no electrical crackling noise.
With each update I have changed pc case, power supply as well cpu.
What is funny tho, Asus tech support could not see anything wrong with audio in these videos when I asked help for my problem...
I don't see anything wrong with the 2 youtube videos that you posted either.
When you press the test button or the volume slider, the computer plays like a 2 second sound sample. You cut off in the middle before the sample sound is fully played and then you pressed again to start playing the 2 second sound sample. And before the computer finishes playing the sample, you cut it off again and again and again.
I think it is just the interaction of the sound sample playing multiple times.
But the video only proves is that the user is trying to do what the system sound app is never designed to do in the first place. It is designed to play a simple system sound like when you can a new email. It is never designed to be as responsive as a digital audio workstation.
Now that is a lot different than what you initially said in your first post --- which is you are just playing a video and you get like a systems alert (and you get a blip pop sound). That I can see is a problem.
But all the youtube videos show are simply someone playing the system sound repeatedly beyond the capabilities of what the system sound app is designed to do. That I do NOT see as a problem.
Well its just the same thing happens in regular usage too. It does not take any rapid clicking at all.
What I mean by electrical crackling: 1809 audio crackling - Streamable
I get this as well and it does happen even when adjusting volume 2x slower.
Any luck with this annoying issue? I've been having this problem for around 4 years now non-stop on two different custom PC builds. All Realtek on-board audio (MSI and Gigabyte mobos). I have even tried a USB sound card and still the same BS. In games it's the worst because a simple sound like a bird chirping can cause an audio blip, the sound of these blips or static pops can be faint or loud, seems to happen more with over-lapping audio (multiple sounds playing at once), and audio that loops can cause a loud pop/blip. I recorded this in Deus Ex: Human Revolution where it triggers when running on carpeted floors YouTube I can replicate this any time I want, it's not exclusive to this game. More recently is audio from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, I've noticed a ton of audio blips and pops (some faint some loud) so it's not just older games.
I try looking for information or ways to fix this every 4-5 months but haven't found any answers or leads to possible answers, or even have found many people with the same issues I'm having. I have all the same audio blips when from the videos you posted - I hear them all in the video and on my PC too.
