So I have a bit of an unsolvable issue. It has somehow pervaded through three different sound devices, both internal and external. And so far as I can tell the problem isn't coming from any of those devices.
Basically, I get some crackle and pop when scrolling, clicking to minimize a window and sometimes just moving my mouse. Fullscreen video (flash or any kind of streaming) also results in this but to a greater extent. Sometimes it's worse than others and so far I haven't noticed myself doing anything different to cause it. The crackling/popping while clicking/moving the mouse really only occurs with music. Nothing seems to happen when i have no music playing. I don't think it's a sound effect conflict since it makes no sound when click or anything like that.
I noticed this problem ever since I got a new video card last December. But I went through three of them and had the same problem. Two of them are by the same maker but one was not. The only commonality between them all is HDMI out which I use to hook my PC to my tv. It does have a sound output but I disable it until I feel like using it so it shouldn't be causing an issue. And the fullscreen flash/streaming video cracklepop occurs with that as well. I should note that it persists even with optical out to my stereo.
I'm stumped. My RAM usage is ok, just over half. CPU usage is low. So...
