[Z270F] Crackling and glitching sound from onboard soundcard...

[Neo-ST]

Hi.

I'm using Win10 and latest drivers for my Asus Mobo, but the sound coming from onboard soundcard is crackling and popping and glitching.
I tried several solutions I found on this forum, such as deleting all the Sonar software, disabling Realtek HD Audio Manager, etc. but it doesn't help.
I even bought a new audio cable because at first I though it may be causing problems.

Is there any solution to this or should I send it for RMA ?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you try to disable Fast Startup (Windows) ?

How to disable Fast Startup : Press the Windows key on your keyboard > Type in "Control Panel" > Press Enter > Follows this ASUS tutorial for the rest of the indications : https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1031533

or

Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your devices with MSI Utility (Free/Open-Source) : https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/MSI-utility/releases/latest (Right click > Run as administrator).

Looks like this did the trick.
