Hey - Ever since doing the build below I've had some random annoying popping sounds come through my speakers and headphones. It seems to happen mostly when launching Discord, Team-speak or League of Legends. The popping itself is very audible and is quite annoying as you can imagine. Below is system specs (everything is stock) and below that is what I've tried to fix said issue.
Also maybe someone can help differentiate this - Is the actual sound card on this motherboard Sound Blaster while the codec used is Realtek? If so, why are there drivers for both? I'm only guessing at this but wouldn't two sound drivers conflict one another when installed? If so, why does Gigabyte's website list both?
Thanks and always stay [H]
