Audio Crackles on Windows
I've been experiencing audio crackling on my Windows 10 laptop for a number of months now. It happens most often when I pause an audio source, like Spotify, and then play it again sometime later. I can usually resolve the issue by restarting the audio application but occasionally I have to unplug/plug in my headphones or restart the computer.
I've tried many things:
- Increasing CPU priority of audio applications
- Reinstalling audio drivers
- Reinstalling audio applications
- Changing Power Options
- Changing the Windows settings for the sample rate and bit depth of the audio playback device
None of those worked for me.
