Need assistance with audio problems and confusion about PC troubleshooting steps.
Here are your details rephrased:
You're using a 3060 64GB DDR5 RAM system with a 6400MHz CPU and ROG Strix B650-A gaming rig. It includes a Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, an Articulation liquid cooler, a 360mm 1000W PSU, and Corsair PSU. Initially, you experienced booting problems—this was resolved after some assistance on Discord. Later, you encountered audio issues: during boot, gameplay, or even simple actions like opening YouTube, the volume spiked excessively, causing stuttering and loud crackling, especially at 1% volume. This happens intermittently during startup. You mentioned it happened while chatting on Discord for about half an hour before loading a game, then restarting or shutting down, which fixed the problem. Your main concern remains the audio instability, which has been present since your first RAM installation. You're open to any advice or help to address this issue.
Did you build the system from scratch? Which enclosure did you select? Were the brass heatsinks installed prior to fastening the mainboard?
Welcome to the forums! Curious about the RAM count—are you looking at 4 sticks or 2? Regarding the audio, please visit your motherboard’s website (like Asus) to download and install the correct driver. After rebooting, check if the issue resolves. Also, tell me what type of audio output you have—speakers, headphones, or something else? You might want to test with another setup to ensure it's a problem with your tower rather than your accessories.
I think you're referring to MMO stands. Checking for additional ones is definitely a good practice.
I had a friend assist me with the wiring. It's been over a year now. I used the NZXT H7 flow and motherboard standoffs. Are you asking about the screws connecting the board to the case? Yes, I'm not sure what you're referring to, but it sounds technical.
Thanks! The product you mentioned is 2 sticks at 32 gigabytes each for Corsair Vengeance RAM. Here’s the link you shared: https://www.ebuyer.com/1891436-corsair-v...lsrc=aw.ds
I’m using IEMS currently, but I’ve tried two other headphones—SteelSeries and Razer—and they work just as well. Regarding audio drivers, there isn’t a video available yet.
Visit the provided link for the ROG Strix B650 gaming Wi-Fi motherboard. Select Windows 10/11, drivers and tools, then scroll to Audio. Locate the downloaded driver file, click it to extract everything, and follow the on-screen steps. Run the extracted AsusSetup.exe file and restart your system.
I completed the task without any problems. I’ll check the results when the time comes, and if needed, I can send a message back. The process involved double-clicking to verify, waiting 15 minutes, and restarting the computer.
