Yup, I had the same issue, so I contacted ASRock support to ask if it was a known issue. They didn't say anything about it and said that they are ready to do a replacement.

I've read stories where they've sent out used boards, mine is just a few months old. Can't believe a top tier board has such a basic issue. ]]> Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:26:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=170350&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#170350 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=103672&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#103672 Author: mbe

This is not a software issue, it is a hardware Bug Asrock tries to hide.
Asrock messed up the design of the Audio block and just did not fixed it before tape-out of Fab B;
This is quite common for unexperienced design team when integrating Realtek's DACs; inparticular the vref voltage is sensitive and if it is not filtered && too noisy, this is the result.
Btw. the board shall have been failed all audio distortion tests. So this is an intentional left-over Bug by Asrock team and was probably categorized as "tolerated" by customer.
But actually this is not acceptable for a 500USD board. It would be okay if this would be a 250USD board w/o Audio.]]> Sun, 26 Feb 2023 05:31:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=103672&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#103672 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=102508&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#102508 Author: gfd

I would reach out to ASRock Tech Support directly:

You shouldn't be getting audio artifacts from the onboard.

Interesting. I have both in Sound, video and game controllers. I am still trying to get a clean sudio stream]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2022 17:51:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=102502&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#102502 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=102501&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#102501 Author: khanv1ct

I have the following for Realtek devices:

>Audio inputs and outputs
     Realtek Digital Output (Realtek USB Audio) [driver v. 10.0.22621.1]

>Sound, video and game controllers
     Realtek USB Audio [driver v. 6.3.9600.2337]


Your guess is as good as mine as to what is supposed to be there. I can say I don't have any crackling or popping audio. One issue I'm having is Windows can't configure surround sound from the optical out.]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2022 14:53:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=102501&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#102501 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25226&PID=102500&title=audio-issues-x670e-taichi#102500 Author: gfd

Greetings,

I am curious about the Audio installation. I have been ripping out what hair I have left, trying to stop the pops and crackles in the audio system.

I finally settled on BIOS 1.11, a totally clean Windows install and using the ASRock auto installer for drivers.

The auto installer did not install audio as Windows beat it to the punch. It also choked on the internal Graphics, but I just installed it using the inf files. I digress.

I uninstalled the Windows audio drivers and deleted the devices. I then installed the ASRock package using the exe file. So far, so good. However everything else I've tried was so far, so good...for a time.

The pops and crackles, when they start, seem to be tied to actions in the Windows environment: mouse clicks, changes in YouTube videos, navigation, etc. A good example is testing the sound in Windows Control Panel. Double click on the default sound device, go to advanced and click on the green test arrow. Each time the sound starts on the left and moves to the right, it clicks and pops.

Is it the fact that there are 2 audio devices showing up in Device Manager:

USB\VID_0B05&PID_19AC&REV_0001&MI_00
Realtek USB2.0 Audio - with a driver (10.0.22621.1) 2022-05-06

USB\VID_0BDA&PID_4014&REV_0001&MI_00
Realtek USB Audio - with a driver (6.3.9600.50) 2016-06-12

Should there be 2 audio devices showing up? Is it possible the two entries colliding is what is causing the pops and crackles? Should I disable one of the devices? Is one of the devices the front audio connectors?

Where do I get answers?
