Issue 1: Audio Popping or Cracking
- Cause: High DPC latency from older graphics drivers.
- Solution: In Device Manager → System devices → Disable “High Precision Event Timer” (HPET). Then, in Realtek manager, increase microphone boost to minimum and disable “Multi-streaming.”
Problem: “Extra quality” audio driver causes high DPC latency
- Fix: Use LatencyMon to diagnose. Often switching to the “Microsoft HD Audio” driver then reinstalling Realtek with “clean install” checkbox fixes it.
