I'm experiencing audio pops and blips with my SB X-AE5. I'm getting them while gaming, skipping through Youtube videos and itunes music playback. I seem to be having trouble with the drivers but don't know if it's a direct cause. I have both the new Sound Blaster Command installed as well as the older SB Connect to retain RGB control of the AE5. I'm unsure if there is a conflict there but someone said they can be run together. These drivers are very difficult to uninstall as Windows/something will instantly try to reinstall them. Windows update constantly wants to install a Sound Blaster driver. Adjusting sample rates doesn't make any difference. I can't think what else to do except try an alternative PCIE slot. I'm running an overclocked 8700K and overclocked Corsair Dominator RGB RAM on an Asus Maximus XI Hero that appears to be stable. Feel free to ask for anything I've missed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
