Its been a year since this issue began, And its meant for the past year I haven't been able to use my PC for 80% of its time I usually would. Volume slider on YouTube makes it crackle if you flip it about.

Crackles when pausing and unpausing. Or when someone bleeps or cuts the video it crackles.

Crackles in game (Escape from tarkov, BeamNG, Marauders, Cyberpunk 2077) On engines, gun shots ect.

Its evident its not my hardware or my software, As 3X PCs have this issue in separate locations, Specs, Peripherals ect. (Note 2x of 3 Systems are mine, Sold the Ryzen 7 system 2 months ago, to help build a new intel machine to try and fix this issue)
