No, this motherboard has 2 sound cards installed, an ES9218 SABRE DAC for the front panel, and another for the motherboard IO panel. The front one works fine. The external USB sound cards work fine]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2025 23:06:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=191949&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#191949 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=191922&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#191922 Author: M440

Good idea, I found that the sound card is connected to an AMD USB 3.20 - 1.10 Extensible Host Controller (Microsoft). I disabled the power off option in Device Manager (for all USB Controllers where it posible)
Also disabled Modern Standby (forced legacy S3 standby) by this command
reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Zero change. The clicks are still there.]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2025 21:27:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=191906&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#191906 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=191778&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#191778 Author: M440

i think it is windows drivers problem.

problem with power management, applying power management.

people report to fix this by setting the power management correctly or if it refuses to accept power management features.. by playing the silent sound all the time to keep it busy

I ran into the same issue on a B650E Taichi and managed to fix it, here's my post from a Reddit thread:

1 Update Windows 11, make sure you have the latest Chipset drivers and BIOS installed.
2 Hop into BIOS and enable the Automatic Driver Installer.
3 Hit F10 and exit, re-enter Windows. Usually, Auto Driver Installer will pop up now.
4 Simply let it install all the latest drivers (among them Thunderbolt), reboot, and it should be fixed.

From what I've been able to google, there is a conflict between Windows 11 drivers, Thunderbolt drivers, and Realtek audio drivers, which creates the popping/crackling.

Note: some people have reported success after simply uninstalling Thunderbolt drivers via the Device Manager (if you have them).

I hope this helps!]]> Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:48:17 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=145307&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#145307 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=133904&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#133904 Author: Serndes

Same issue, but on non-Lite B650e Taichi.
I saw on some forums that this may be due to Nahimic and its attempts to control audio devices. I haven?™t checked it myself since most of the time I use a USB headset]]> Sat, 27 Apr 2024 21:51:24 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27652&PID=118100&title=asrock-model-b650e-taichi-lite-popping-audio-as-s#118100
