Experiencing audio issues due to the motherboard and USB audio connections.
I've experienced intermittent audio problems with clicks and pops on my PC over the past week. This issue appears with both the external USB audio interface and internal motherboard audio, as well as when speakers or some IEMs are connected. I've reinstalled chipset and USB drivers, performed a BIOS update, but the problem persists. It seems the mainboard might be involved since it's present across both audio paths, though the BIOS fix didn't fully resolve it. I'm still unsure what to do next.
Immediately after sharing this, someone mentioned it might be linked to problems with AMD systems as outlined here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-410 and https://www.tomsguide.com/news/windows-1...h-amd-cpus. I have turned off TPM/fTPM in the BIOS to observe the outcome.
This change might have resolved the problem, but I’m curious about what could suddenly require a larger buffer. Previously, I used 256 without issues, but recently playing music in Tidal caused problems even though nothing changed on the system. I’m also trying to figure out the best way to handle this since music production is important to me and keeping the buffer as small as possible is key.
