Go to control panel - hardware - sound. An old-timey interface should appear.
Double click your playback device.
Go to the Advanced tab
Select 44/16 from the shared mode drop-down (or anything other than the current setting, really)
Click apply
That session should be fine(at worst you have to restart apps/reload tabs playing audio at that moment). On the next restart you need to change it again.
They've really done a number on the audio subsystem.
That verifiably fixes it on my Ryzen machine on 1909.
Had the same thing on a Intel machine on 1803, where they broke the timers and disabling hpet worked, just the pops were slightly different.
Yea well, I also think that newer motherboards have revised chipset design (starting with Intel z170 or AMD equivalent) that gives motherboard certain (different way) of control over audio system. Whether you have internal or external sound card, makes no difference regarding poping or blip sounds. I also tried different op systems on my pc and the same problems where still present.
Noup, still pops and crackles in Youtube, so 44.1 kHz wont do anything...
Well don't mean to keep bumping this but if I ever come across a fix or fix it myself I'll make sure to return here and post about it.
